7 Hmm, ok, so it looks like it is failing to create/open a file. Maybe
8 due to permissions....

10 There are 2 things you can try. First, take a look at your
11 environment for any mozilla variables, and make sure they are set
12 correctly, or try clearing them with unset:
13
14 env | grep MOZ
15
16 The second thing I can think of is to use strace to see what it is
17 failing to open. First start firefox or mozilla. Then use 'ps | grep
18 firefox' to find out the process id. Then run:
19
20 strace -e open,access -p <pid>
21
22 The try to open the Extensions dialog. This should dump a lot of
23 system calls, and there will be quite a few that fail with ENOENT or
24 EEXIST. But look carefully for anything that fails with EPERM
25
26 If don't see or recognize a problem, try posting the output of strace here.
