Ouch, that's a fairly catastrophic failure of the entire storage system.
The storage service fails to initialize, which also explains the
problems people are having with cookies going missing, cookie exceptions
being lost etc. This must also break history / bookmarks / content
preferences / form history / website permissions and basically
everything in Firefox that uses sqlite.

My guess is that somebody uses sqlite before the storage service is
initialized, which then causes the call to sqlite3_config to fail.

This is pretty bad, as the addon manager then deletes the database and
tries to create a new one, as well as people losing data that Firefox
normally saves
