When I start firefox, I get a popup box that says
Quote: | An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information for firefox. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly. |
There's a "Details" button that, when clicked, shows the following text
Quote: | Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-SfpSLB5Ong: Connection refused) |
After displaying the popup box, firefox starts up normally. Also, the error only occurs in my account. On my wife's account, firefox starts up with no errors.
There's no dbus-SfpSLB5Ong file in /tmp, but that address does seem to be in my environment variables.
Code: | localhost tmp # env | grep DBUS
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:abstract=/tmp/dbus-SfpSLB5Ong,guid=af8767e6787d5f5dd87a0f3e4a18a8f2 |
Thanks in advance for any help.

A search on "firefox failed to get connection to session /tmp/dbus connection refused" got me here, and I was seeing this error message exactly, but probably from a different starting point.
I was running firefox on the command line, as just "firefox".
I needed to use "dbus-launch firefox" instead. |
