When I try to save html pages or whatever with firefox, nothing happens.
(i recently screwed up the permissions on my system.) but if i start it
as root ('sudo'), or use iceape, all is ok.

what specifically happens? do you get a save dialog at all? does it
seem to save but leave no file?

regardless of the above, based on your whole permissions history, I'd
say you should remove and reinstall firefox as a good starting point.

A

no save dialog, tho' nothing like a complaint that it can't save. it acts in
other words as if a good save except that nothing gets save, BUT if i look in
the ff error console, i find:
