[Bug 942797] [NEW] browser history vanishes

[athun]

Public bug reported:

On 2/25 I reported a problem - that my browser history vanished after
one day.   Original report (question 188806) is:

"Using Ubuntu 11.04 updated and firefox 10.0.2. All was ok till I
updated about 1 week ago. The next day my browser history disappeared.
If I reinstall from a backup I can access all previous history stored in
the backup but again all browser history vanishes after a day. I
reinstalled the entire system and my home directory but same thing
happens. Firefox preferences are set to "use custom settings for
history", I cleared the cache, and my config files appear ok but ?.
Tried running Clam AV and that showed no virus but it kept showing 99%
complete and never finished. Can anyone help?"

Received advice to move firefox to firefox.old and reinstall the browser
since the problem might have been due to a config conflict.   Seemed to
work but tonight, after two days this time, the browser history again
vanished.   I am able to reinstall with a backup but problem persists.
Preferences are set to 'Use Custom Settings' and 'Remember Browser
History'.   Anyone have a suggestion?   Thanks.
