That's what most configuration files are.I set them all to my own user:group, but mozilla seems to have some 'stuck' settings. I found a useful command is: ps -eo pid,user,euser,fuser,group,egroup,fgroup,cmdAh! So you're trying to set the correct permissions on the Mozilla configuration files!The first thing to learn is it's best not to change permissions on files you didn't create. ;-)
I just migrated to debian from the windoze box which had mozilla on it. I copied the profiles and news/mail directories from the windoze box. I set the ownership of everything to my own. I hate the email composer editor inthe linux version of mozilla. I can't set it to keep using a fixed width font. Anyway, the group linux.debian always shows it has 6 unread messages even after i've read everyting in it. A few other groups do that too. Maybe it's mozilla bugs.
Why not start a new Mozilla session with "mozilla -ProfileManager", create a new profile, and compare permissions?
I'm thinking of setting up a *real* email system without mozilla.
