Why can't I delete what appears to be a "phantom" bookmark from my Bookmarks Menu?

I have a very peculiar bookmark entry in the Bookmarks Menu that appears to be a phantom entry of some type. I see the entry but it doesn't have a folder icon in front of it like the other bookmark entries do. Furthermore, even after I highlight this particular bookmark, I cannot right-click and go to the website, nor can I delete this bookmark. Indeed, the Name and Description panel below the bookmarks doesn't get updated when I select this particular bookmark.

How do I remove this "phantom" bookmark?

I have a screen capture of this "phantom" entry and the correct entries above and below it if that would help but I don't see a way to attach an image in this post.

Thanks.

Cor-el thank you so much. To my surprise, installing and running the places-maintenance add-on tool seemed to correct the problem! I just checked all repair options and ran it and now the problem is gone.

Thanks.
This definitely looks like a database corruption with the location of the bookmark missing and only showing the name.
