After running FF as root, i was able to install extentions - as root -...

Running it as normal user, I get an odd error patter. Running the first 
time as NU after running root works ok and the exts load (but FF crashes 
if i try and change options for them) however running FF a second time 
results in the following console output and FF loading (and staying at) 
a solid white window.

bash-3.00$ firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
^Cbash-3.00$ firefox
*** Failed to load overlay chrome://trackpackage/content/trackpackage.xul
*** Failed to load overlay 
chrome://rightclicklink/content/rightclicklinkOverlay.xul
*** Failed to load overlay chrome://firesomething/content/browserOverlay.xul
bash-3.00$ firefox
*** loading the extensions datasource
bash-3.00$ firefox
*** Failed to load overlay chrome://trackpackage/content/trackpackage.xul
*** Failed to load overlay 
chrome://rightclicklink/content/rightclicklinkOverlay.xul
*** Failed to load overlay chrome://firesomething/content/browserOverlay.xul

^CSegmentation Fault - core dumped
bash-3.00$


Thoughts?
