error message

[Thomas Bath <thomasoakleybath gmail com>]

Each time I try and open a webpage using Mozilla Firefox, I get the
following error message:

An error occurred while loading or saving configuration information
for Gecko. Some of your configuration settings may not work properly.

DETAILS

Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that
you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS
locks due to a system crash. See http://www.gnome.org/projects/gconf/
for information. (Details -  1: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-rx30/lock/ior'
not opened successfully, no gconfd located: No such file or directory
2: IOR file '/tmp/gconfd-rx30/lock/ior' not opened successfully, no
