>Description:
The files installed in (PLIST) lib/${MOZILLA}/defaults/* are all set to read
only (mode 440) and when they're copied to the user's ~/.mozilla this isn't
changed. So, until the permissions are corrected the user cannot save any
preference or bookmark changes.
I'm currently using pkgsrc-2006Q4 as of Feb 3.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install www/firefox2, cd /usr/pkg/lib/firefox/defaults/*, ls -l
>Fix:
I don't have a fix. From what little I've seen of the firefox build process,
the files come from work/mozilla/profile/defaults, where they have 644
permissions. I'm not brave enough to dig through the makefiles to find out
where things are going awry.
