Firefox cannot access bookmarks and history on Ubuntu 18.04
0
Firefox somehow loses access to its bookmarks and history files on every reboot. I tried the following options which solve the problem until I reboot again:
- Followed Mozilla's troubleshooting guide
- Deleted
/home/username/.mozilla/
- Deleted
/home/username/.cache/mozilla/
- Re-installed Firefox
