I’m having this Issue where Firefox suddenly starts misbehaving after updating to Kernel 5.13 while having Unreal Engine installed or installing Unreal Engine on a system with the kernel 5.13.
Sites log out when the browser closes, extensions stop working and files like lock .parentlock persist even if erased and if the places.sqlite or start a new profile or the .mozilla folder is removed then the " The bookmarks and history system will not be functional" error appears and persist
When checking error occurs the about:support page becomes empty and the Places Database Integrity check shows the following:
