09.11.2010 After an autoupdate to 3.6.12 Firefox asks for profile when starting up. Firefox does not recognize existing profiles in the correct profile directory. Bookmarks etc are copied to a new profile and the new profile taken into use.

11.11.2010 Firefox starts up by asking for profile. All previous profile data has been deleted. The only thing remaining is a > 46MB big urlclassifier3.sqlite file in the local\firefox\profiles directory. All bookmarks, cookies and other information has been deleted from all previously defined profiles(!!!)

This can happen if you have uninstalled a Firefox version and placed a check mark to remove personal data. That will delete every profile folder listed in profiles.ini, also from other versions.
