Description Patrizio Bassi 2007-05-05 18:20:47 UTC
i suspect due to some bash upgrades...

i have now:
No running windows found
Error launching firefox:

There are files in your profile that are owned by a user other than
patrizio.  firefox can't execute in this condition.  Here are some of
the files that I found:
    /home/patrizio/.firefox

You can fix this problem by running the following:
    su -c 'chown -R patrizio:wheel /home/patrizio/.mozilla'


.firefox dir doesn't exists!!!
permissions are ok and even root can't.

same issues with seamonkey and thunderbird.

tb home dir is .thunderbird...

There are files in your profile that are owned by a user other than
patrizio.  thunderbird can't execute in this condition.  Here are some of
the files that I found:
    /home/patrizio/.mozilla/thunderbird

You can fix this problem by running the following:
    su -c 'chown -R patrizio:wheel /home/patrizio/.mozilla'
