Yes, and I *really* wish they wouldn't. It's my number 1 cause of major 
problems with Firefox. E.g.

http://kb.mozillazine.org/Bookmarks_history_and_toolbar_buttons_not_working_-_Firefox


Using a database for such lightweight data as bookmarks is, in my 
opinion, gross overkill and adds to the complexity of Firefox. More
complexity leads to more bugs, e.g.:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=465684#c11

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=431558


Please don't use a full-featured database if you don't need the overhead 
of ACID compliance. And if you do, well, Sqlite is not fully ACID compliant.
