I have reinstalled the system. It appears to be an issue that depends on
which file manager is used to create the directories within the home
directory. This time (as with my other computer) I used Xfe to create
the directories. Last time, I used PCmanFM and experienced the problem.
Firefox works as expected now. Thanks.
