I was talking with Derek on IRC about this, where I agreed, and I've had a change of heart regarding this issue after reading this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf

It seems like that an update is not the only way localstore can get corrupted, and it looks like the ff people regard this as a bug on their end.

So, Im unsure. I had so many opinions on this, and they were all wrong. Yay for humility! Anyway, now I wonder why localstore is used to store so many settings. Why not store your bookmarks in... say.... bookmarks.rdf? and toolbars in toolbars.rdf? I mean, you got a whole folder for the profile. That way, if one gets corrupted, it doesnt drag down the rest.

Anyway, it looks like the best solution would be to track down the bug, and fix it.
