[Bug 236962] [NEW] Strange treatment of stored data

[Alyosha Drobizhev]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Using Firefox 3 beta 5 in Ubuntu Hardy Heron.
Suddenly, when I load firefox, all my bookmarks were gone, the history is present but it doesn't get updated like it should when I visit new sites. There is no way to clear the history--it says that history is cleared, but it is still there in its unupdated form. I can go to any site, but there is no way to move back and forth throughout the session with the "back" and "forward" buttons--they are greyed-out as if no other sites have been visited. When more advanced operations that have to do with history or bookmarks, such as "show all bookmarks" or "show all history", are requested, the browser simply quits. there appears to be some problem with the stored data concerning visited websites. In the Error console, the following is displayed:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure
code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)
