firefox not working for ordinary user in Centos 6.9 x86_64

[jhladysz]

Hello,
It's my first post in the forum. Firefox browser not working for ordinary user.
That is all. Root can run it. Ordinary user finds info:
no profile or such like that.
Firefox was installed from main Centos 6.9 repository and is the latest version.
Please help to overcome the trouble.

Open a command prompt and run it from there then report the exact error message that you see, both in any pop-ups from firefox and anything that appears in the terminal output.

Hello,
Thank you for your interest in my post.
The message in popup window Firefox sends is:
"Your Firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inaccessible."
The directory .mozilla in my home directory
contains subdirs
extensions (drwxr-xr-x.)
firefox (drwx------.)
and nothing else.
In root direktory .mozilla direktory looks the same, but firefox works for root.
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Sorry, my reply was incomplete:
If firefox command was issued the popup window entitled: "Profile missing" says the above message
and there is a message in command prompt:
"Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile directory."
-------
Where is my profile directory and what are the correct wrx rights for it?

I don't know if it will work, but maybe you could try to rename .mozilla to e.g .mozilla2, and then restart firefox?

Post the output from ls -la ~/.mozilla and ls -laZ ~/.mozilla

Hello,
Renaming .mozilla and starting firefox does not work.
What am I to do?

Is your /home on a normal filesystem? No NFS or anything funky like that?

Hello,
My /home is on separate disk. It's not NFS.
