Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: firefox
This bug is a duplicate of 123917 and 124262 but reporting a new bug
like this seems to be necessary for the maintainers.
This is a vanilla gutsy tribe-2 install from the cd. It was installed
from scratch, not upgraded. Firefox won't start if there isn't already a
profile in place. The version info is
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ apt-cache policy firefox
firefox:
Installed: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3
Candidate: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3
Version table:
*** 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3 0
500 http://ie.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
Of course, in order to report this bug, I had to create the profile by a
different means (a copy from a backup).
At the point that the profile creation fails see screenshot in bug
124262 a directory .mozilla/firefox has been created with two files
which look to have the standard name scheme given to profile folders.
