Hi,
I have TDE 14.1.1 installed on Slackware64 15.0.
Firefox keeps spitting out error messages like this:
Unable to open /opt/trinity/share/dconf/profile/user: Permission denied:
'glib warning', file /tmp/firefox-128.4.0/toolkit/xre/nsSigHandlers.cpp:187
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1410879 seems to indicate that
firefox is looking in /opt/trinity/share/... because /opt/trinity/share is
in the XDG_DATA_DIRS environment variable.
In my Slackware version of TDE, there is no directory
/opt/trinity/share/dconf at all, which (partially) explains why firefox is
whining.
dconf is part of Gnome. It seems that your Firefox or one of its dependencies
expects Gnome to be on the system, or other DEs to be using Gnome's
libraries and file setup. I would call that a Firefox bug or a packaging error,
depending on where the problem was introduced.
