I also have the same problem with Firefox 3.6.6 for Mac which I downloaded today. I've been browsing for half a day but none of the websites I want to return to are suggested by the autofill feature.

Make sure that the Location Bar is not set to "Nothing": Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Location Bar: When using the location bar, suggest: History,Bookmarks,History and Bookmarks See Smart Location Bar --- See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite

As I said, I had the same problem. I followed the instructions listed on this page but that didn't do it. So I finally deleted the entire Firefox profile folder and the problem went away.
