Just experienced same problem. "sudo firefox" solved the problem, but this is of course an unacceptable solution from a security point of view. Then I noticed that a couple of files in my firefox profile directory were owned by root for some reason. (Might this be the result of installing a new toolbar as root? (which I did...))
Thus, upon executing "sudo chown -R <my username>:<my username> " here my problem was solved :) The profile directory can be found in ~/.mozilla/firefox/, the one with a really random name :P hope this helps -- bookmarks are gone, I can not add bookmarks or import bookmarks backup, the toolbar does not work, the buttons back, then update are broken, the bar gives direction errors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/226165 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
