Microb will start with fresh profile inside .mozilla/ folder, if you remove the folder. That is: You have enter the information inside the folder for browsing the web again and save login info and all.
You are not screwed up, but you lost some valuable data.
A common workaround before deleting something,might be to make a backup with
Code:
mv youruselessfolder youruselessfolder_backup
and wait some time to evaluate the damage.

Ovi maps uses a plugin with microb to display everything, it could have been something to do with that

This line comes from an error in the postinstall script of
account-plugin-salut. The post number 4 in the thread
I linked gives you the instruction to correct this post-installation
script.

Do you try to upgrade with testing-extra and devel-extra repos enabled?
You should not forcefully upgrade packages that are held back, because these may break other application in the long run.
To remember those changes in a few minutes/hours/days would be pure luck.
