It is most likely the cause of wrong permissions.
You can try to take a look in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory. The
file that holds that sort of information is calledd userpref.js

Alternatively you can simply delete ~/.mozilla/firefox directory, and
Firefox will create a fresh profile upon restart. (Note, this will
delete all your Firefox settings, bookmarks and cookie information)
