Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
After a recent Ubuntu update Firefox 3 crashed, lost all bookmarks, ignores default page as set up in preferences, greyed out BACK and FORWARD page arrows (they no longer work), cannot import bookmarks backup.
System REINSTALL of Firefox fails to fix any of these items.
Add-Ons: AdBlock Plus, Foxmarks (no longer works), and Ubuntu Firefox modifications.
Ubuntu 8.04

Date: Wed Sep 3 00:10:46 2008

Fixed problem by resetting ownership of '.mozilla' hidden directory and all files within using the following command (remove angle brackets and insert your login name):
$ sudo chown <your username>:<your username> -R .mozilla
All data restored including previous session tabs and bookmarks.

=====
2nd UPDATE
=====
With testing it appears that Google Earth is responsible for changing permissions in the .mozilla directory. After Google Earth is run Firefox fails and a re-install of Firefox + chown of .mozilla files is necessary to restore Firefox back to a working state.
Blame it on Google, I guess.
