Firefox "content-prefs.sqlite" gets emptied some times, plus cleaning.

I have A LOT custom download locations stored in the "content-prefs.sqlite" file...
for my Firefox profile..

Occasionally this db file seems to get emptied... and I lose all my custom download locations....
BUT I have backups LOL ;) ;) :D :D

I am looking to do a few things like cleaning it a bit, ie re-indexing it ..
ooh i found a program called, http://sqlitebrowser.org/
turns out it has a "compacting" function.. lol

That aside... how come its getting wiped or something... I do use CCleaner,
but I have "Site references" = UN-checked...
and it only happens occasionally so it does not look like its CCleaner fault... there was a crippling bug in CCleaner a version or two ago.. that borked my settings and a few other things BUT THX GAWD for backups lol..

attached a pic of my Firefox settings in CCleaner, I haven't had any issues using it since I rely on the Cookies saving function to keep me up and running on the net...
