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.
Comment 1 Patrizio Bassi 2007-05-05 18:29:08 UTC 
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'
