I can reproduce this issue with firefox-esr 45 from Debian unstable.

pabs at chianamo ~ $ journalctl -r --user | grep formhistory | head -n1

The issue is caused by this broken symlink:

pabs at chianamo ~ $ adequate xul-ext-form-history-control
xul-ext-form-history-control: broken-symlink /usr/share/xul-ext/form-history-control/defaults/preferences/000system.js -> /etc/xul-ext/form-history-control.js
pabs at chianamo ~ $ ls -l /etc/xul-ext/form-history-control.js
ls: cannot access '/etc/xul-ext/form-history-control.js': No such file or directory
pabs at chianamo ~ $ dpkg -L xul-ext-form-history-control | grep /etc
pabs at chianamo ~ $ grep /etc /var/lib/dpkg/info/xul-ext-form-history-control.*
pabs at chianamo ~ $
