what are the perms of /var itself and its subdirs? mine looks like
^^^^^

/var not /tmp




anything under /var/tmp should be owned by root (UID 0), and not you
^^^^^^^^^

/var/tmp not /tmp



did a chown -R on var/tmp. then started ff and got some error messages.
session as follows:

no. you chown'ed /tmp which is not /var/tmp. And, *look* at /var
*first* to see if it matches what I posted.

don't panic though, there is (or should not be) anything persistent in
/tmp, so it will fix itself up with a reboot.

meanwhile look at

/var permissions for potential problems. In particular, /var/tmp
should have the sticky bit set. Maybe you could post up the output of

ls -ld /var

and

ls -l /var

thanks
