After extensive trial-and-error effort, I discovered this issue is not related with browsers, but can be related to systemd. Google Chrome also does not save bookmarks and history, behaving erratically because this. Trying to start watsapp web brings an error message saying that the was an error with browser database.
I wiped Ubuntu install, trying Linux Mint and Debian, and the same issue happens after I activate my /home partition in /etc/fstab. I use an additional f2fs formatted disk as home, with file system defaults. When default /home is mounted again, the problem is gone. How do I do to suspect systemd? simple, I removed Debian and installed Devuan distro, which is Debian without systemd. The problem was solved. Maybe some user config at my /home disk can be causing this behavior, but it is time-consuming for me to check what is causing this to systemd, so I will give up using Ubuntu, unfortunately. Please close this bug if you want, but I think it is a systemd bug, and needs to be investigated. Since now, I don't trust systemd anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1966979 Title: Firefox says one of it's files is in use after new installation Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: New Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Steps to reproduce: - Make a full backup of Firefox user data; - rm -rf /home/<user_directory>/.mozilla; - apt purge firefox; - apt install firefox; On first run, Firefox Says "The bookmarks and history system will not be functional because one of Firefox's files is in use by another application.
