If a ~/.mozilla directory exists but is not owned by the user (e.g. owned by root), Firefox fails to start but does not give an explanation.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a root-owned directory '.mozilla' in the current user's home directory, but without write permissions for the current user.
2. Start firefox.
Actual Results:
Firefox silently fails to start.
Expected Results:
Firefox should print a warning that it cannot start because it cannot write to the profile directory.
