I haven't found any addons.sqlite on two systems so far. Deleting only |
| 16 |
addonStartup.json.lz4 allowed Firefox to launch, without losing any settings, |
| 17 |
bookmarks, addons, extensions, etc. |

The addonStartup.json.lz4 file (as well as addons.json if re/moved), are |
| 20 |
recreated next time FF is launched. Perhaps something in the FF json engine |
| 21 |
changed and the old json script syntax is not liked much. |
