I used the standard 1.0.7 Ubuntu package and it worked fine. I have tried the standard 1.0.6 openSUSE package and the upgraded 1.07 packages with the same result. I also tried the 1.5beta2 package found here http://ftp.softnet.tuc.gr/pub/linux/suse/projects/mozilla/experimental/10.0/ The error message is worded different, but is still the same. Not proper access to the profile.

Here is the fstab line that mounts the share: Which version of Firefox do you have on Ubuntu? Could you please try a mozilla.org build of Firefox 1.0.7 on your 10.0? If you are on it, it would also be interesting what you get with a 1.5b2 build from mozilla.org.
