Trying to get the closing multiple tabs warning I followed the instructions and opened the profile folder. I made the changes but it didn't help. Then I noticed that 2 other files are corrupt.

Are the bookmarks and history working in the Firefox 3.6.x version?

If that is the case then you can remove those two files.

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