Bug Description
It happens on Maverick
I dont know exactly if it's related to firefox 4 ppa or nvidia package. But when I tried to run firefox-4.0 I have NVIDIA: could not open the device file /dev/nvidiactl (Permission denied)
I have tried to chmod 777 chown me chgrp video, nothing to do to have it works.
I have seen this bug reported so, is it only me ?
Here the ppa I used that could be related

To reproduce the problem you have to activate layer in firefox-4.0
about:config
search for layer and activate on all
