I tried removing the directories, uninstalling, reinstalling, etc.
All to no avail. It's clearly looking at somethig else.
I also see the same problem Kirk Strauser is seeing with
# firefox
*** nsExtensionManager::_disableObsoleteExtensions - failure,
catching
exception so finalize window can close
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** loading the extensions datasource
Although mine starts and runs, except I can't save anything and
keyboard shortcuts and things like <ctrl>click don't behave
properly (open the tab, but don't load the link)
I found a reference on a linux site about firefox-installer being
the culprit (/usr/share/firefox-installer/firefox-bin) and a missing
library, libmozjs.so. Will check into it when I get a chance.
