I discovered my problem. Several years ago I pointed the firefox profile to a directory in the /var filesystem so that I could run it from several systems in my network at once w/o problems (each system had its own set of profiles). So this was a local configuration/setup issue since my new system didn't have the requisite directory setup yet...woops! :) Sorry for the noise.
