Fierfox Profile manager, how to dump.

For years I have used Firefox on Slackware with no problem. Now all of
a sudden a profile manager pops up every time I start Firefox. I jump
through all the hoops but the next time I start Firefox it pops up
again with no profiles available. My bank only recognizes IE and
Firefox, not Chrome or Seamonkey or whatever.

Using pkgtool I dumped and reinstalled mozilla Firefox but that didn't
help. Should i just wipe out ~home/.mozilla/firefox?

Slackware 13.37 with Trinity, but same problem occurs under KDE4.

This turns out to be another problem that recurs on various
directories. All items in a directory and the directory itself loses
its ownerships and mods. All I see are question marks when I use su
and then ls -l.
If I chown etc. and chmod 777 as root everything is all right again.
This happened to ~/.mozilla and all its chlidren.

This is a recent but repeating occurrence.
