Run ls -Z ~/.mozilla/*/* to see if mozilla_home_t is in place.
But this may be related to known problem, Firefox 23 breaks browser
profile, double form entries, and sometimes browsing history can not

Try to run Firefox in safe mode (firefox -safe-mode). Or copy your existing
profile connect, load it as independent (firefox -P profile.copy) then
search with sqlitemaner for your stuff.

-or look if you have profile backup.
