Most likely you don't own your own .mozilla directory. 

Try this:

$ cd
$ ls -ld .mozilla

If it is owned by root (most likely case if you ran Mozilla while under 
su), do the following:

$ su
# chown -R <username>:<group> .mozilla
# exit
$ mozilla

The other possibility is that you have a Zombie mozilla process hanging 
around in the background and it's trying to create a new profile.  
Normally you'd get the profile manager if this happened though.

Also, do you own the files inside of .mozilla?  There are several 
directories in there.  Chowning the whole thing might not be a bad idea 
regardless, just to rule out any ownership possibilities.
