2 errors 1 appaers to have a osurce of Mrxmb and the other comes up as an informational popup

to preface this I know it has been reported, but I have no found a solution once after searching for over an hour unfortunately.  I thought I found one where it told me to save the cache locally but the procedure to do so told me to change non-existing options.... so it was a dead end.  This seems to occur because of enabled history.  whats causing the problem is folder redirection to the server specifically the persons profile is on the server and not on the local computer.

if anyone has a real test and tried solution please let me know asap

at first it was an annoyance but now it is making the user not only unable to use a firefox feature but this little popup continually comes up what seems like every time they visit a new page.

as a follow up, I now tell users to use internet explorer when this error comes up because there doesn't appear to be a solid solution anywhere.
