Comment 8 for bug 123917

Same as for Mitch, it is a fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy with the i386
desktop CD, Tribe 2 (fresh as in formatted partition).

apt-cache policy firefox yields:

firefox:
  Installed: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3
  Candidate: 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3
  Version table:
 *** 2.0.0.4+2-0ubuntu3 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I can actually still reproduce the error by just relocating the .mozilla
directory and then opening firefox.

For completeness, I just noticed that the error I get is not 100% the same,
in the failure code I have twice a "c" instead of "8" at the end. The
complete error for me is:

Profile Creation Failed

Profile couldn't be created. Probably the chosen folder isn't writable.
[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8052000c
(NS_ERROR_FILE_ALREADY_EXISTS) [nslToolkitProfileService.createProfile]"
nsresult:

no]
