Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Running Ubuntu 8.04.2 Kernel Linux 2.6.24-23-generic (i686)
Firefox 3.0.5
Have No Script, Fasterfox, Adblocker and numerous other addons installed in Firefox.

Continuously receiving this error in my Firefox Error Console:
Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIFileOutputStream.init]
Source file: file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.0.5/components/nsSessionStore.js
Line: 2165

This problem appears to have started recently, as my browsing speed changed. The Error Console was packed prior to my clearing it. I've noted the line (defined as the problem in the console) below to the right side with "!!!!".
Thank You ahead for any assistance, as I'm really tired of clearing my error console. Should you require any additional info, please notify.

I've also started receiving numerous warnings and more errors. Most of which are being generated from within my file system. Some have come from external domains, I'm using the manage domain blocker to keep them from constantly reoccurring. I copied the file "nsSessionStore.js" and save it to a different directory, then deleted it from the components. This stopped the 0x80070057 error and the file still resides on my system just not in that location. This did not stop the ongoing additional errors and warnings.
Your help would greatly be appreciated. If I uninstall Firefox and switch to Opera will this problem follow? Thanks again for your support.
