I get a black screen instead of my bookmark list when I click on bookmarks icon

BookThis happened suddenly. I can still access my bookmarks by going to the Bookmarks(top of screen)/Bookmarks Bar/then pull-down Alice's Bookmarks from that to access my bookmarks. However, I have to keep the cursor pushed down, cannot rearrange them from there or view the actual URLs. What did I do to cause this?! More importantly, how do I UNDO it and get back my access to the nice bookmarks list by simply clicking on the bookmark icon up top?" It is VERY frustrating!

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

Is there a search box at the top of the black area? If so, look for a grab handle at the bottom edge of the window, in the center. It looks like three short, faint horizontal lines. Drag it upward, or double-click it.
