All files in ~/.mozilla and its subs are owned by my user and my user's group and have rw (x for dirs) as a minimum for user (some have r and rw for group). Likewise for ~/.thunderbird. Using firefox -P test will bring up the profile manager and allow me to create a new profile, but the new profile is just as broken as the regular profile. Might be an extension.... I thought there was a way to bring up firefox/thunderbird in a "safemode" that disables all extensions, but a firefox --help shows no such flag. Thanks, Micah
