I figured out what is gouing on.  All I had to do is to start firefox as 
root.  That took care of the problem for me.  In my case I was not 
seeing the error messages because I was not launching firefox from the 
command line.  When I launched it from the command line I saw what the 
error message said and was able to take corrective action.
