[Dave Townsend [:mossop] (PTO until Aug 21st)]

The failures here basically say that Services.storage is broken during mobile startup. 

> E/GeckoConsole( 6492): [JavaScript Error: "ERROR addons.xpi: Failed to open
> database (1st attempt): [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
> 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]" 
> nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS
> frame :: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm :: XPCU_serviceLambda :: line
> 232"  data: no]" {file: "resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm" line: 232}]

This is being thrown by basically the code:

Cc["@mozilla.org/storage/service;1"].getService(Ci.mozIStorageService);

Which suggests something broken in xpcom land.

Oh, I said much the same in bug 717904 comment 4, this is probably a straight dupe of that.
