Even better is that one post in that thread seems to have stumbled on
the cause which is that if your profile directory is symlinked to a
different location, Greasemonkey doesn't like this AFTER the first
start of Firefox and you have to disable Greasemonkey in order to get
Firefox to start again OR remove the symlink to your profile directory
and move it back to the correct location.
Not sure why Greasemonkey doesn't like symlinks, but clearly its a bug
that needs looking at.
..
To anyone experiencing this: There's no need to put a symlink where
your profile would go. You can edit ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and
tell it to put your profile directly at any path you want. I've done
this to put my profile inside an encfs volume, rather than the default
location, for example. (Copy/move the existing profile to the new
location (if any) while Firefox is not running, edit profiles.ini,
restart Firefox, and the transition should be seamless. Or just point
it at an empty directory and it will create a new profile on launch.)
