You can look at these prefs on the about:config page.

To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

This can also be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

Renaming places.sqlite files solved the problem. Thank you!
