Who is he that overcomes the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God? This is He that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood.And it is the Spirit that bears witness, because the Spirit is truth.God has given us eternal life,and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life: he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.  1John 5:5-6,11,12
  Jesus answered, "Truly, truly I tell you, unless a person is born of water and Spirit he cannot enter the kingdom of God.  John 3:5

Can you please remove --purge flash and re-install it.
We have had other issues as well with use with notebook remix. can someone please confirm that this only is seen in notebook remix?
The locked files can be caused by running firefox as root check permissions of firefox as well to see if they are locked.
