+1 on Dan's answer. Am also replying because I'm running into a similarly different issue with Firefox that I install straight from them. This URL features the issue I started receiving ~two weeks ago on an HP G6 (Dandelion) laptop: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-bookmarks-and-history-will-not-be-functional So far, I've been lucky that restarting Firefox instantly fixes my experience. I've seen reports of users losing their data entirely. The only thing I can figure is a package is running an update when I log on. For whatever reason, it seems to hold certain data files hostage. One can't help but see the experience as concerning because: 1) I haven't ferreted out the culprit software (yet). 2) It repeatedly affects the kind of personal information that an unscrupulous "Nosey Parker" would be seeking to monitor a user's behavior. Afterthought: A policykit "already running" type of message occurs when that HP G6 is booted up. The bookmarks/history locked data error seems to most often occur if I've been too lazy to close that policykit alert window before attempting to open any other applications. The only glitch that negates that connection in my mind is the policykit message has been brandishing its annoying self for a long time while this bookmarks/history thing began a couple of weeks ago. Again, yes, this is an apples and oranges kind of comparison. Both do still (recently) involve security/privacy and dynamic user-specific information on web browsers. Best wishes..
