Ok, sorry it took me so long to reply to this, I have been too busy to get to try this. I downloaded and ran Firefox 1.5b2 right from www.mozilla.org . The same error occurs if I try to use a profile from a vfat partition (like I said in an earlier post, the error wording is slightly different in 1.5, but I think it is the exact same error). I tried moving the profile to the /boot partition just to test it, and it works fine from there. I also tried as root and a normal user (both with full access to the partition), so the problem is either with the way Firefox is creating the lock, or the way 10.0 is allowing access. I have been running 1.5b2 on WinXP Pro since it was released with no problems. Same basic setup, Windows partition is NTFS, profile is on a FAT32 partition.
just to let you know. We fixed it and it will be made available at least with our upcoming Firefox 1.5 package. I'm not sure if we will get an official update for this problem for 10.0. But when Firefox 1.5 will be finally released you can get it from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/ (release candidates will be available in the experimental subtree in addition but there is no package with the fix yet. If you'll see a change in the packages in experimental/firefox the fix will be in there) CU, Wolfgang -- SUSE LINUX GmbH -o) Tel: +49-(0)911-740 53 0 Maxfeldstr. 5 /\\ Fax: +49-(0)911-740 53 679 90409 Nuernberg, Germany _\_v simply change to www.suse.com
