Removing linuxplinwrapper, flash, and java got firefox to start again. That still leaves the funky directories that get created when firefox starts. I moved ~/.mozilla out of the way to let firefox create everything on it's own. First it forced me to create a new user profile saying that the default user was in use. No other instances were running at the time though. Attached is what's created after I startup firefox for the first time. (I couldn't even cut and paste the output.) It looks like something is going wrong while trying to create ~/.mozilla/firefox. This garbage is created if ~/.mozilla/firefox does exist and occasionally subsequent starts create new garbage directories. Thanks.
