You may need to reinstall Briar.
Briar Startup Failure
For some reason, your Briar database is corrupted beyond repair. Your account, your data and all your contacts are lost. Unfortunately, you need to reinstall Briar and set up a new account.
Briar was unable to start a required plugin. Reinstalling Briar usually solves this problem. However, please note that you will then lose your account and all data associated with it since Briar is not using central servers to store your data on.
