Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:140.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/140.0
Steps to reproduce:
At the start of the day, run Firefox.
Actual results:
This message (for me in French language because I works with this language).
The bookmark and history system will not be operational because one of the Firefox files is currently being used by another application. Some security software may cause this problem.
screenshot
The bookmarks and history lists are empty on the screen.
A restart of Firefox fixes this issue.
This issue occurred with 140 Firefox release. I does not warned of an application that use a Firefox file.
Expected results:
Bookmarks and history should be available on the start of Firefox running.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Firefox::Bookmarks & History' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Hello, could you please telling me more about where the Firefox profile is stored, does that partition have anything particular, like encryption/compression, or some kind of network share?
