[Bug 1013316] Re: Bookmarks not available even after sqlite reset

That's because you have files that you can't write to in your profile,
because you don't own them (presumably they are owned by root, which is
normally a result of running firefox with sudo):

BrokenPermissions:
 cookies.sqlite-shm (0644, wrong owner)
 places.sqlite-shm (0644, wrong owner)

This problem is so common that I really think it's time for us to just
make Firefox abort if it is executed as the root user

** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Invalid
