ubutnu mozilla annoyance

[ph34r]

My old Debian sarge install b0rked yesterday after an apt-get upgrade, so I archived off my data and installed Ubutnu. Did an apt-get install for the mozilla suite, and mozilla is now misbehaving, sorta, to the point of being annoying.

Just running mozilla does nothing. In order to get it to start, I have to use the splash screen and start the profile manager. Pick my old profile, and it starts fine. However, I'd rather not have to pick the default profile, especially since it is the only one. Useing an arg to state which profile to use doesn't work. Get the splash screen, then nothing, and mozilla isn't running, but it does leave a lock file in my profile directory.

Any ideas? Pretty sure it isn't my profile - its been migrated from Slack to Fedora to Debian and now to Ubutnu, with no problems until now.

You can try moving the ~/.mozilla directory and start over and import the bookmarks... :p

My guess would be a permission problem in the directory chain somewhere, I'd (as root) chmod -R username .mozilla just to make sure the ownership is right all the way through (it only takes one problem).

If that doesn't work, goto plan A and move the directory outta there :D

Seems my old preferences were referencing the web developer plugin/extension, and thats what was messing it up. Some fun sed work and I got it all back... :)
