Public bug reported:

Every time I start Firefox, there is a bar on the bottom of the window saying
"It looks like you haven't started Firefox in a while. Do you want to clean it up for a fresh, like-new experience? And by the way, welcome back!"

I use Firefox daily, so the message is wrong and a bit annoying. I
dismiss it, but comes back the next time I start Firefox.

This is on Ubuntu 14.04.4 "trusty" and Firefox
45.0+build2-0ubuntu0.14.04.1.

My home directory in on an NFS mount, if that makes a difference. The permissions look fine though:
drwx------  4 tmk Domain Users 4096 Jul 20  2015 /home/tmk/.mozilla/
drwx------  4 tmk Domain Users 4096 Jul 20  2015 /home/tmk/.mozilla/firefox
drwx------ 16 tmk Domain Users 4096 Mar 14 09:22 /home/tmk/.mozilla/firefox/lyyjbgs9.default
