Firefox Profile Weirdness

[charlesv]

I am not sure if this is because of the ntv firefox profile (which appears to be a dependency of all the other ntv packages so i'm hsitant to remove it), but it appears that in the default profile:

- the google search box has no effect
- trying to view the downloads window crashes the browser

Trying to create a new profile gives me an error that it can't be written... Banging on it some more

I believe you're having the same issue I did: http://bugzilla.neurostechnology.com/show_bug.cgi?id=4747

I'm not sure I got it exactly right, I was having trouble duplicating, hopefully crweb can chime in, he's aware of the issue.

Joe, The steps listed in the bug report are already done.  This was because you were using a drive without /tmp as ramfs.

For Charles problem, its probably nearly the same. /tmp can't be written to but probably because somewhere down the line the filesystem became corrupt.  Which is issue that all devs are currently dealing with atm.

FYI, on my restored key, this appears to be resolved.
