Re: changes in Firefox are not kept
The permissions are not controlled by DragonFly, they are controlled by firefox. Ok. Maybe the problem is your umask. What is your umask set to ? 22

: : : Ok, must be some rights issue. When I start it as root, it works ok. : :It went very wrong again. Now I checked all permissions in :.mozilla/firefox/*.defaults, compared them with another computer, and :corrected/changed where different: a lot of files missed the :w-permission. Now it works ok. I want to advise strongly that the :permissions are corrected in the upcoming 1.8 release of DF. The permissions are not controlled by DragonFly, they are controlled by firefox.

changes in Firefox are not kept
Hi, I built firefox2, but it doesn't keep any changes in preferences, bookmarks etc. What could be wrong? Thanks, Huub

Re: changes in Firefox are not kept
Try starting from a terminal as normal user and check the output. I did that and found nothing odd compared with the root. Can you tell me what specific output should be there with what rights?

Can you tell me what specific output should be there with what rights? If I recall correctly, the preferences are kept in ~/.mozilla/firefox (or at least firefox1 does) - does that directory exist? If it does, try renaming it, and then starting firefox again, and see if it recreates the directory.

The problem I see is that firefox will start, run for about five seconds, and the quit with no output of any kind. Deleting ~/.mozilla/firefox doesn't help, although it does get re-created on the next try. The same thing running as root. Running firefox in gdb causes gdb to crash, so something is not quite right on my end ;o) I've just cvsup'd and I'm rebuilding the system now (CURRENT), and I hope it will help. I'd like to get firefox working again soon.

I noticed that thunderbird or firefox (can't remember) did not keep changes. turned out that the prefs file was created 444 instead of 644. don't know why they pulled this stunt. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ASCII Ribbon /\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \ signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

I've just noticed that epiphany works okay, and it is linked against many of the libraries in /usr/pkg/lib/firefox. Epiphany is the web browser from gnome -- if you have gnome installed you can try it and see if it works better for you than firefox.
Re: changes in Firefox are not kept
I noticed that thunderbird or firefox (can't remember) did not keep changes. turned out that the prefs file was created 444 instead of 644. don't know why they pulled this stunt. Just checked on that: my profiles.ini has 644. Something odd happened as well: there was a 2nd .default created having 600, which was added to profile.ini. Now I manually changed the profile.ini to the oldest .default, and changed some prefs and added bookmarks. Now it seems to work. Not a clue though what was different and why.
