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 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. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-July/msg03128.html >> I upgraged thunderbird and firefox via portupgrade. >> >> Things kinda work ok, except I cannot modify preferences, and it >> doesn't see any of my old mail, which leads me to believe it >> doesn't like my .thunderbird and .mozilla directory hierarchy. >> >> All of the subdirectories and files in the .thunderbird tree are >> owned and writeable by the user, yet no modifications to the >> configuration (preferences) will write.
