Bug Description

After uograde I tried to start Firefox, but this error popped up:
"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."

First time it happend when uprgaded from Ubuntu 12.10 to 13.04. At that time I managed to repair but I think it is not normal state that every Firefox upgrade I do this process. With the same content of ./.mozilla/firefox and ./.mozilla/firefox-trunk Firefox Nightly build 24.0a1 (2013-05-14) start without any problem, Firefox stable does not.
