After updating Firefox to version 7, I am unable to use the Bookmarks sidebar. The sidebar will not scroll, nor will any of the bookmarks respond to a mouse click to open them. Had to uninstall 7 and go back to 6. Any fix for this?

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
