shell script output from adding -x to firefox and run_mozilla.sh
Try moving aside your .firefox directory (make sure that firefox isn't running at the time!) If that helps, check the permissions on the old firefox directory match those of the user running firefox... Wow, I feel like an idiot. This was a new install, but removing the .mozilla directory did it. Thanks. |
