tendouser Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Does anyone know why is this happening when starting FF in Ubuntu Oneric? Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable. [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED) [nsIToolkitProfileService.createProfile]" nsresult: "0x80520015 (NS_ERROR_FILE_ACCESS_DENIED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://mozapps/content/profile/createProfileWizard.js :: onFinish :: line 233" data: no] I have to launch FF with gksu command from terminal.

QuickOldCar Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm no expert at this. But I do know that firefox locks files, it seems that you have no permission through JS for that user in firefox.

trq Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I have to launch FF with gksu command from terminal. That alone sounds like a bad idea to me. Anyway, FF needs to be able to write to a profile directory normally stored within a users ~/ somewhere. It appears you do not have permission to write to or create this directory. Why would you need to run FF as root? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/253052-ubuntu-1110-firefox-issue/#findComment-1297473 Share on other sites More sharing options...
