Re: [Bug 123917] Re: Can't start Firefox
Same as for Mitch, it is a fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy with the i386 desktop CD, Tribe 2 (fresh as in formatted partition). apt-cache policy firefox yields: firefox: Installed: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3 Candidate: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3 Version table: *** 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status I can actually still reproduce the error by just relocating the .mozilla directory and then opening firefox. For completeness, I just noticed that the error I get is not 100% the same, in the failure code I have twice a "c" instead of "8" at the end. The complete error for me is: Profile Creation Failed Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable. [Exception...

Re: [Bug 123917] Re: Can't start Firefox
In my case it was the following: -> Fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy with the i386 desktop CD, Tribe 2. (The machine is an old Sony Vaio PCG XG-19.) -> Upgrade all packages from the repository. (I should note at this point that there's something broken about the repository or Tribe 2, because the Adept tells me it would break packages. I haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet, but I think it's unrelated.) -> Use Adept to select a list of other packages. (This was done all at once.)

What version of firefox is this being seen on and is this only on gutsy. To find out the version of firefox please type "apt-cache policy firefox" without the " in a terminal.

I have the exact same problem, I just installed Gutsy Tribe 2, installed firefox through aptitude, and i get this exact same error when running for the first time. I could not find any lock-files, i can tell you that even though i cannot start firefox, the profile-manager does appear to create 2 (0-size) files when i try to make a profile.

Re: [Bug 123917] Re: Can't start Firefox
Unfortunately the machine has died and I can't immediately retest or even see what was on it. However, I can say that this was an entirely virgin install of gutsy alpha 2, and then an install of Firefox (and other stuff), and it was the very first time I had tried to open Firefox.

What it seems to be doing is not creating a profile directory in the .mozilla/firefox directory. It may be creating a file instead.
