Preconditions:

1. Have the security patch available for update on Samsung galaxy A53 (Android 13).
2. Have some browsing data in Firefox 109.2.0.

Steps to reproduce

1. Download and install the update.
2. Launch Firefox.
3. Observe if the browsing data is still available.

Expected behavior

Browsing data remains unaffected after a system update.

Actual behavior

Upon launching Firefox after the system update, all browsing data was lost: tabs, bookmarks, history and it appeared that the default settings were restored.
However, the profile was not deleted since the Client ID remained unchanged and no onboarding screen was displayed.

Device information

• Firefox version: Release 109.2.0.
• Android device model: Samsung galaxy A53
• Android OS version: Android 13

Any additional information?

Please note that the issue could not be reproduced on other devices. After any system update, no data losses occurred.
Cannot say for sure if other browser could have been affected after the update.
Attaching screen recordings of the device information and log cats from before and after the update.
Reported for visibility, although this could not be a Fenix related issue.
