[Bug 1726861] Re: bookmarks & history system not available

Sat Nov 10 15:42:07 UTC 2018

Thanks for following up.

I did try installing FireFox a couple more times but with no success.
 More recently i installed it using the snap and it appears to be
functioning fine.

I always assumed that I had some 'artifact' of a previous FireFox install
or another application that caused this problem.  Just wasn't smart enough
to find & correct it.
