[Solved] Firefox 112.0 upgrade seems to have lost all cookies

I just lost all my cookies after upgrading to Firefox 112.0 and restarting it.
It's not clear that the cookies.sqlite file was emptied, it's 1.5 MiB which seems a normal size, but I have to redo all my logins and the website parameters here and there that are saved locally.

I didn't observe the issue on a Windows upgrade, and didn't see any bug in Bugzilla, so I'm thinking that might be an issue with the Arch package?

Well, it's not clear that this would be related to the Firefox upgrade, further restarts would again see all the cookies disappear.
I removed the cookies.sqlite file, and it now seems to be working correctly, so I guess the file got somehow corrupted.

Marking this solved.

I haven't lost any cookies with the update, so there must have been something wrong with your cookies.sqlite. Mine is 512KB in size.
