When AP starts up, it copies the Resource database to the temporary  
file, uses the copy and then copies it back at the end. What might be  
happening is that the initial copy is not being made, at which stage  
a new, empty database is created. It could be that the Firefox  
upgrades are somehow interfering with the temporary files folder  
(deep in the System). That being said, it is something I can check  
for in AP. When I get my computer back I'll check the code and make  
sure that sanity check is being performed.
