I've been plagued with firefox problems for a while. A couple of days
ago I was unable to start firefox at all, it would just keep repeating:
*** loading the extensions datasource
on the CLI. I fixed that my removing all traces of firefox and mozilla,
then reinstalling, then running firefox as root, and then
copying /root/.mozilla to my user's home directory (and of course
chown).

So firefox starts up now. Today, I tried to install the ad blocker
extension. It seemed to install, but needed a restart complete the
install, so I restarted it. The extension manager told me that I still
needed to restart the browers before it would complete the installation.
From rom the command line, I now get:

$ firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
*** nsExtensionManager::_finishOperations - failure, catching exception
so finalize window can close


Has anyone else had these problems? Anyone have a suggestion, other than
to drop firefox and go back to galeon?
