1. Reproduce by taking a profile from : 
http://people.mozilla.com/~nhirata/Profiles/XUL/
2. unzip and push using adb push mozilla /data/data/org.mozilla.fennec/files/mozilla
3. launch fennec
4. look at logcat

It's an error due to not having permissions.  Logging so that people know to shell and chmod the files/mozilla and profile directories on their android device before trying to dig further.  

Is there any way to prevent a crash?  Maybe pop a new profile if the current one has issues?

Does this have a user effect? Sounds like this would be really uncommon.

I don't think it would truly affect the end user.  The only time I would think that it might would be only for advanced users that try to restore their profiles manually after rooting their phones and forgot to chmod their profile.

Cool - in that case, I don't think we need to track for release.

Closing because no crashes reported for 12 weeks.
