Why would you want to rename the .mozilla directory?
If you move the default preferences directory of an application I wouldn't
expect the application to work. Sounds like a WONTFIX to me.

The bug occurred *before* I renamed the .mozilla directory. Renaming the
.mozilla directory is the only way I found to work around this problem (but
this works only once).

BTW, the .mozilla directory is just *user* preferences. Any application should
be able to work with empty user preferences.

I still don't get what this is about. So if you do NOT rename the directory,
what does not work?
Can you come up with a description about what exactly the issue is that you are
facing?

Initially, after installing the packages, all the extensions and plugins
appeared in Tools -> Components:
* components-installer
* Default plug-in, Real Player, Windows Media
* Dictionnaire MySpell en Français
* Flashblock port for MicroB
* Greasemonkey port for MicroB
* Shockwave Flash

But after one or two restarts of the browser, without changing anything in my
configuration (without renaming anything...), all the extensions disappear,
i.e. Tools -> Components just says:
* Default plug-in, Real Player, Windows Media
* Shockwave Flash

Note that even the "components-installer" is missing.

Is this always reproducible (because you wrote "browser restarts", not "device
restarts")?

Can you also please create a browser logfile and reproduce the error:
Enter about:config?prefname=browser.consolelogfile&prefvalue=/tmp/browserlog in
the browser location bar, set that preference, reproduce the browser problem
and post the content of the file /tmp/browserlog here (you can for example
start the terminal application, run "more /tmp/browserlog" and copy the output
to this bug report).

Almost always reproducible. Same problem when the device restarts.

/tmp/browserlog contents:

({type:"message", msg:"No chrome package registered for
chrome://navigator/locale/navigator.properties ."})
({typetext:"typeError", type:"error", msg:"[JavaScript Error:
\"Components.classes['@mozilla.org/updates/timer-manager;1'] has no

I'm still not able to reproduce this - never run into this, but I only have my
three default components here ("components-installer", "Default plug-in,
RealPlayer, Windows Media" and "Shockwave Flash").
Is this still an issue in 5.2008.43-7?
File and folder permissions are OK I assume?
Does this also happen when only having those three default components installed
and no "third party software" (in the sense of "not delivered on the device by
default")?

Closing this bug report as no further information has been provided. Please
feel free to reopen this bug if you can provide the information asked for/if
you can still reproduce this. Thanks!

FYI, the problem was no longer reproducible.
