Firefox 7.0&7.0.1 updates - issue with blank location bar autocomplete
Such a weird thing: I updated to 7.0, and my location bar's default items - the ones that show up if you hit the little down arrow on the right of the bar or look for an autocompletion when the bar is empty, the most frequently visited sites - are all out of order.
It's still the same sites I'd visited most frequently before the update, but they're not at all in the order in which I visit them; not in the order they've been for the past few versions of Firefox, and they don't seem to move from the new order no matter how many more times I visit my top site, even now that I've been actively trying to bump it higher up the list.
They're not in alphabetical order. My browser history seems to be intact; in particular, the number of results in the history search I get when I look for my most-visited site - the one I am used to and want at the top of the list - is far longer than the number of results in the history search for the current highest-listed site. They are all sites that were on my default list before updating, just ordered differently. Updating to 7.0.1 has not affected the issue.
What is going on? & is there a way to manually set the order of this default list? Or is it only done through an algorithm involving your history&bookmarks (which apparently isn't quite working or is working differently than I'm used to now)?
Thanks!

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

Be aware that you lose all history if you delete places.sqlite
