It's worth a try if users
suspect the problems they see are due to places.sqlite corruption.
I'm a bit concerned, though, that the latest version is from
February 8, 2012. Is it still in development?</p>
<p>I don't understand how this extension helps with downloading
videos.</p>
<p>BTW if places.sqlite is deleted or corrupted, bookmarks are
always restored at the next restart from the last .json file in
bookmarkbackups. Favicons and everything bookmarked after the last
backup will be lost, though.</p>
<p>I'm interested in your crash at <a href=
"http://shop.ouya.tv">http://shop.ouya.tv</a>, which I can't
reproduce. Do you have a crash log and/or steps to reproduce?</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/327603402014-04-29T23:18:14Z2014-04-29T23:18:15ZMust Have Addon for People who Save a Lot of Tabs....<div><div class="moz-cite-prefix">On 4/29/14 1:53 PM, Chris (chtrusch)

<p>Dear Cameron and TFF Group,</p>
<p>I've been having a long-time problem with favicons and recent
bookmarks disappearing (have steadily upgraded since TFF 6) and
found out that it was due to a long-standing corruption of the
places.sqlite db. After much swearing and Googling, found this
addon that probably should be in everyone's TFF bag-of-tricks,
especially if you save a lot of tabs, as this is said to increase
the likely-hood of probles with 'Places' after a crash. Have also
just made an Intel Friendly version too. You might ask why an Intel
user would want it with current versions of Flash, and the answer
is that is enables the downloading of a number of videos (like
those from Vevo) that cannot be grabbed by Video Download helper or
any others! Also, for those with slower connections, the videos
will load and play much faster in QuickTime from sites like abc.com
without all the Javascript stuff happening in the background.
Lastly for users that install rtmpdump (Intel Only), there are many
additional sites the script can support.</p>
<p><a href=

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/places-maintenance/?...</a></p>
<p>After exporting all my bookmarks and the password db from the
last readable db, I've been using this app every month and it
WORKS!<br>
Yesterday, a particular site (<a href=
"http://shop.ouya.tv/">http://shop.ouya.tv/</a>) crashed the
browser 3 times in a row (with 20+ tabs open), and sure enough on
checking with the addon, the places.sqlite had re-corrupted. But
after running the all option (you access the addon from its
Preferences, it was able to re-index and fix the problems before
they got out of hand and sure enough bookmarks saved earlier that
day were retained.</p>
<p>Sadly Mozilla, I think, does not explain adequately how much
hinges on 'Places', and how wrong it can go, but this little addon,
when used regularly, can really prevent big problems later.</p>

Very sorry, disregard the 'videos' part of the discussion<br>
<br>
"Have also just made an Intel Friendly version too. You might ask

<br>
as that accidentally got pasted into it after corresponding with a
PPC/Intel Mac dev regarding a video app I made.<br>
<br>
The most important part of the issue with 'Places' is that
corruption can subtly loose bookmarks and such over time and not be
apparent at first. Things just get lost. Doing this
maintenance every month or so, can limit the damage and make the db
fixable/savable even after corruption, rather than forcing TFF to
delete it and all the new bookmarks it holds. This is REALLY
important to users who leave the app open and don't necessarily
create new bookmark backups often.<br>
<br>
Sorry, I don't have the logs anymore from the Ouya store, as I have
since run OnyX and the logs got purged, but the issue was that I
click "Open in New Tab" on two items it is caused a javascript
freeze that forced me to force-quit. Happened 3 times in a
row.<br>

course, also of interest here :-)</p>
<p>If you get another crash at Ouya, would you be so kind to post
the log? If it's reproducible and not a Mozilla/Firefox bug, we
might be able to fix it.</p></div>Chris (chtrusch)tag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/327603402014-04-30T14:26:32Z2014-04-30T14:26:32ZMust Have Addon for People who Save a Lot of Tabs....<div><p>On 4/30/14 7:17 AM, Chris (chtrusch) wrote:</p></div>Adam Albrectag:tenfourfox.tenderapp.com,2012-01-07:Comment/327603402014-05-01T08:38:03Z2014-05-01T08:38:03ZMust Have Addon for People who Save a Lot of Tabs....<div><p>Adam, I noticed here (and in the "browser window position"
