Bug#560329: iceweasel: browsing and form histories disappeared on upgrade

[Gabriele Stilli]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.5-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

yesterday I upgraded IW from 3.0.14-1 to 3.5.5-1 (I use squeeze); on
closing and reopening, after a log time of HD churning and whatnot, I
found my whole browsing history and form completions were totally
gone. I'm perusing the .sqlite databases with the SQLite Manager
extension, but apparently the previous items disappeared for good.
What could it be?

I was going to file this as grave since it's a data loss somehow, but
I was not sure about this.

Other information available on request.

Thank you,
Gabriele :-)
