Ouch, I forgot to send my earlier reply to this to the whole of slug, and not just the original poster. :P My reply was:
I had this exact problem, out of the box, on Ubuntu 6.06. After a while of playing around, I found that the problem was that the config and profile directory, ~/.mozilla was owned by root, and the user running firefox couldn't write to it. I did something like "sudo chown -R david:david /home/david/.mozilla" to fix the problem, which reset the owner and group of the mozilla directory to user david and group david. Then firefox worked. :D You will probably want to replace "david" with your user. On 2/28/07, Richard Neal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
try moving/renaming the /home/username/.mozilla directory. you can do it in a terminal with the following command mv ~/.mozilla ~/.mozilla-bak Or just use a file browser and rename the folder. **NOTE** make sure you have "show hidden folders" turned on if you use the later method.
