Hello
yosemite latest.
I upgraded to 45.0 from 41 and firefox opened. The i did 1 think and it would not open again.
The 1 thing was :
I went and looked at my search history and clicked the last month and clicked delete. Fx hung. So i rebooted and then Fx would not open. I rebooted again(I could not remember the keystrokes for safemode) and 3rd time I rebooted I got a popup that said it was having problems on startup refresh / safe mode. I tried both options. Neither worked.. crashed again.
So now I have I restored from backup (the backup was showing v41 in FEBE naming). I restored manually by unzipped the FEBE backup, and setting the profile name as it was before. Then thankfully Fx was intelligent enough to know i had reverted back to v41 and rechecked the addons for compatibility. Nice!
So now, back to original problem. Storage of search history - I suspect a corruption in this area.
Assuming (please correct me if I am wrong), where Fx saves my search history is in the sqlite database, places.sqlite.
Question 1 - In my profile directory i have 2 places.sqlite database. Is it correct I have both of these
places.sqlite.corrupt (date of file is 24/4/15)
places.sqlite (date of file is 24/4/15)
fyi - last profile i created was when i did a clean install of yosemite. so new fx and then loaded elements from prior profile.
Question 2 - I really dont need my search history. I would like to start from a brand new sqlite for this aspect of Fx. Is that possible? how do I do that?
What is critical to me, is my bookmarks, and remember the sizing of the sites i have visited e.g. zoom size. I backed up my bookmarks before I attempted to upgrade. no diea where the zoom size of pages is stored.
Thankyou for your help in advance.
