Comment 7 for bug 39351

Hello,

Sorry I did not keep up.

I had this problem in dapper and I had to rollback to breezy. I'm going
to do a dapper install in my environment this week, so then I can
confirm it and I'll post to the launchpad. The breezy install is now
too old as far as dependencies for various programs. I hope that I will
have better luck this time, this firefox problem caused quite a bit of
grief.

I think the issue was related to the nscd cache, but I also found this
in my notes:

http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/releases/1.5.0.7.html#issues

Firefox 1.5.0.7 is installed on a multi-user system in a location
which is not writable by users, Firefox must be run once by a
privileged user. If this is not desirable, an empty file must be
created in the following directory:
<install-directory>/<email address hidden>/chrome.manifest

For the nscd cache it would be:

/etc/nscd.conf
enable cache hosts no

remove cache
/var/db/run

Regards,

Yasi
