Seems that apparmor is avoiding firefox access some files. It is strange
because I have one user where firefox just runs and another where it
does not.

I've seen that I had apparmor enforced for firefox:
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/security/apparmor/profiles 
[...]
/usr/lib/firefox-3.5.*/firefox (enforce)
[...]

And I've changed to complain (which should be the default on Karmic, and I 
don't know why I had enforce):
$ sudo aa-complain /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5 
Setting /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.firefox-3.5 to complain mode.
