Public bug reported:
Fresh install Ubuntu 16.04 Xenial Xerus, server distro, apt update ; apt
dist-upgrade -y ; apt install ubuntu-desktop -y ; shutdown -r now.
Firefox would not open, stating "profile cannot be loaded, may be
missing or inaccessible". Checked ownership of ~/.mozilla ; all files
were owned user:user and fine. Did a chown -R user.user ~/.mozilla
anyway, problem persisted. Then did ls -lah ~ | grep cache, saw .cache
owned root.root.
Did chown -R ~/.cache user.user, then Firefox opened fine.
