The error message means that you have a incompatible sqlite3.dll.
Do you use software like Zonealarm forcefield ?
Is there a sqlite3.dll coming with one of your addons ?

I re-installed(over my existing installation) Firefox and haven't noticed the issue anytime after that.

No, this system doesn't have Zonealram forcefield installed; it has Avira antivirus installed though.

I searched in %USERDIR%\Application Data\ and in Program Files\Mozilla Firefox and the only sqlite3.dll that was present was the one in the root of 'Program Files\Mozilla Firefox'
