Hmm, ok, so it looks like it is failing to create/open a file. Maybe
due to permissions....
There are 2 things you can try. First, take a look at your
environment for any mozilla variables, and make sure they are set
correctly, or try clearing them with unset:
env | grep MOZ
The second thing I can think of is to use strace to see what it is
failing to open. First start firefox or mozilla. Then use 'ps | grep
firefox' to find out the process id. Then run:
strace -e open,access -p <pid>
The try to open the Extensions dialog. This should dump a lot of
system calls, and there will be quite a few that fail with ENOENT or
EEXIST. But look carefully for anything that fails with EPERM
If don't see or recognize a problem, try posting the output of strace here.
