I have tried a few experiments, with no success. This is also no ordinary directory---it has been under git control for several months. With any file manager this directory is accessible. With Konqueror, it is likewise accessible. Only with Firefox and Epiphany, as far as I can tell, is this happening. I have copied the contents of the directory, without the .git control baggage, and the same happens. This happened concurrently with an upgrade to a new firefox and xulrunner: mozilla-firefox-3.5.2-r2. I down graded by masking this version (and xulrunner were also downgraded when I did this), and the same problem persisted. I had run revdep-rebuild after upgrading to the newer firefox, by the way. This reminds me of a situation some months ago, when a specific home directory was impossible to browse in either nautilus, or firefox. This was due to a peculiar file, I cannot remember the name, but bizaare. When I finally found this file deep in the subdirectories, the problem went away. Thinking the same thing was going no here, I have looked at the directory, but superficially I have seen nothing. Except a file ".directory" left there by dolphin. I have recently installed kde 4.3.0, and started liking it a bit, and playing around with it. I don't know what else to look for, or what method to use, to look for bizaare bits in a tree. I suppose I will copy all the files over, one at a time. Suggestions would be appreciated.
