I've had a similar issue with firefox, tho I've narrowed it down to a single file, IIRC preferences.js, which firefox keeps plenty of backups of (I see seven, going back quite some way), and recovering it from the last firefox backup or from my own backups has worked the three-ish times it happened here. But it was a bit disconcerting to see firefox pop up its new profile wizard the first time it happened, and it took me awhile to figure out which file I needed to restore to get my skins and extensions back to normal. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
