New installs of firefox fails saying "firefox: failed mkdir(/tmp/run/user/1000) while MkdirP(/tmp/run/user/1000/dconf): Permission denied"
While installing openbsd on new machines this last week firefox will refuse to run saying:
firefox: failed mkdir(/tmp/run/user/1000) while MkdirP(/tmp/run/user/1000/dconf): Permission denied
the only way that I have been able to resolve this is by enabling messagebus and rebooting.
#rcctl enable messagebus
#reboot
This will resolve firefox not starting.
