The bookmarks and history system will not be functional

Will this fricking "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" B.S. ever be fixed? Firefox didn't have this issue for years now for almost a year every time Firefox starts up on a cold boot I get this idiotic non-sense message!. I have to close the browser I JUST OPENED and reopen in. This error is pure B.S. as again cold boot, just launched there is NOTHING other than Firefox that might be accessing the various sql.db's...so if this message is to be believed Firefox is blocking Firefox from Firefox... FIX THIS!

It looks to me as though there's something seriously wrong with 144.0. All bookmarks gone as well.

[UPDATE: Making bookmarks and all the database of old bookmarks are back. [All I did was restart with extensions disabled, then restarted again normally. [As the old saying goes: TNO. Trust No-One. Backup your bookmarks from the bookmark manager (Ctrl+Shift+O) to a .json file. [Do this periodically.]

I don't see the Menu Bar any more as well, brain dead city update to 144.0 Update It Really Sucks Hind Tit Really have to wonder what sort of functional check was performed on this release B4 its release, appears to leave a lot to be desired!

If the menu bar (File, Edit, View...) was showing before but is not showing now, and you don't have your bookmarks or history, your Firefox might have started up in the wrong profile. Check the first section of the following article: Recover user data missing after Firefox update.

If you still have all your data but settings and toolbar layout are back to their default values, Firefox might have performed a Refresh (sometimes called a tune-up). Do you see an Old Firefox Data folder on your desktop?

Otherwise, you can turn the bar back on using the steps here: Restore the Menu bar in Firefox.
