[Bug 329998] [NEW] history, bookmarks, passwords, start page all lost. address bar no longer functions

[Tim McNamara]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Hi there,

FF version: 3.0.6
Ubuntu: 8.10

After restarting the PC, I lost my history, bookmarks, passwords. The
start page starts blank, e.g.  The address bar is also not operating
(see screenshot). I cannot operate any of the navigation, e.g.
forward/back/refresh/stop are all greyed out.

Finally, one of my tabs appear to have finished loading, despite the
page having been rendered.

I have no idea what caused it, but neither restarting the application or
the computer assists.

Errors from console:
