I had this type of error when I transferred my profile from one system 
to another newly installed FC2 test version. It acted the same way as 
you described.

I had to created a fresh profile, then export the mail data into the 
newly created profile.

Does SELinux relabel .whatever directories to be SELinux enabled? Does 
mozilla set permissions a certain way, for files within the ~/.mozilla 
subdirectory, which conflict with what Mozilla requires?


No help, just experience a similar problem.
