Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox has lost all settings: bookmarks, home page, passwords, everything. Cannot set and keep a new home page. Firefox starts with a blank page and when the "home" icon is pressed, the Firefox home starts.
Using Ubuntu Hardy Heron. Problem happened after Adblock Plus notified me of a database update, which failed. I disabled Adblock Plus, but problem remains.

Workaround is to uninstall Firefox 3 with Synaptic, and then install Firefox 2 with Add/Remove. All "lost" data recovered with the installation of Firefox 2. Firefox 3 is reinstalled at the same time, but still is broken.
