For those of you running Firefox on Mac OS X in an Open Directory environment with portable home directories, you may have seen a damnably frustrating error when you try to download a file.
The symptoms are, even with a portable home directory, Firefox insists on trying to use the network home version of the default download directory. Since that's read-only, the download fails, and you can't work around it.
This happens in FF 1.5.x, 2.X, and even FF 3 RC1
The fix is:
- Quit Firefox
- Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.internetconfig.plist
- Restart Firefox

Warning for Notes users: The commenting system uses HTML.I know this will be scary for some of you, especially Notes fans. However, open standards, rah-rah.
If you want to use less-than or greater-than signs, or other similar charachters that HTML reserves,
you'll simply have to learn to do it the HTML way. Luckily, HTML is kind of popular, no matter what
your re-educators have told you, and you can easily find help on the intertubes.
