I found it, this was a weird one. I rpm -e 'd the firefox rpm, made a
backup of my bookmarks file and did rm -rf ~/.mozilla. So far so good.
Then I did sudo apt-get install mozilla, and that managed to create
~/.mozilla owned by root:root. With these faulty right settings
mozilla won't start and give the erronious errormessage I mentioned
above. After chown me:me ~/.mozilla everything was OK.
I'm not sure why this happened, maybe apt-getting with sudo?
