Interesting train of thought...
And does all this get thrown under the buss if sqlite isn't there or
isn't configured correctly? I've not touched any of that since the
install. Here it is:
============================
gene@coyote:~/.mozilla/firefox$ cat profiles.ini
[Profile1]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=t7o642n4.default
Default=1
[Profile0]
Name=default-esr
IsRelative=1
Path=cfkfrtdm.default-esr
[General]
StartWithLastProfile=1
Version=2
[Install3B6073811A6ABF12]
Default=cfkfrtdm.default-esr
Locked=1
================================
Doesn't look too impressive to me. But I'm not to be confused with a
browser expert.
/home/amanda/.mozilla/firefox/nz58vim6.default-esr is no perms for me.
from firefox on in the above link 1001:backup owns it, patently wrong.
Now, that is already a backup recovery, but shouldn't gene:gene own:group
it all? We may have just found it!
Thanks.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
