This can be caused by a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

When did this happen?

Firefox 4 saves 10 rotating backup, one each day that you start Firefox. So you can try to restore the bookmarks from an older JSON backup. The file size can be an indication about how many bookmarks are in the file.
