The prefs.js file isn't saved (Linux, file is correct.)

Hi,

I noticed, that Firefox doesn't save any preferences. Most notably the welcome of a newly installed addon pops up on each start, but the issue appeared before.

What I tried:

  • No user.js file in the profile
  • prefs.js and the profile folder have the correct write rights (I 777'ed both at the moment)
  • JS-Linted the file. prefs.js is correct JavaScript (apart from the first line starting with '#')
  • Starting in safe mode

None of those fixed the issue, that Firefox doesn't store the preferences back on disk.

One other, possibly important, point: The profile was copy'n pasted from a Windows installation before. I'm now on Linux Mint Debian Edition.

OK, it does now store the preferences. I haven't changed anything, but presumably just posting the question was enough :-)

(That means unfortunately that I can't figure out, what the real problem was, because it _did_ appear.)

It is not a good idea to copy a full profile folder from one platform to an other platform because some files contain file paths that won't work on another platform.

It is better to only copy some selected files and avoid others (prefs.js is one of them).
