Interestingly, the rebuilt places.sqlite file turns out about 5 MiB bigger than the original one. Do you have any idea why this is? I didn't have any problems with Firefox to prompt me to do this, I simply wanted to to try out the auto_vacuum option, which needs to be enabled with a clean db, before any tables are created.
