Hey, Mozilla does not like that Rust-y Unix attributes, |haha-haaa!! Unbelievable, with such a large community/user base. Nonsense! The real issue was that i had symbolic links $HOME/.local and $HOME/.cache pointing into a special /var/tmp partition with per-user directories in it (and the given directories). This was for chromium which stores a lot of stuff in those. What this has to do with firefox not wanting to create a profile in $HOME/.mozilla, i do not know. But removing the links made it work. Yes i see mkdir("/home/web/.cache", 0700) = -1 EEXIST (File exists) access("/home/web/.cache", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) mkdir("/home/web/.cache/mozilla", 0700) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) access("/home/web/.cache/mozilla", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) in strace output. |And sorry for all the noise.
