But now when I either select Firefox from the menu or start it from a terminal window nothing happens.  Firefox does not start and there's no indication of any problems.  When I use ps to see if it's hung I see nothing.  Ideas?

believe if you use sudo to compile / upgrade firefox), this directory is 
created with root/wheel ownership and restrictive permissions
