Firefox and Thunderbird still have problems when home directories are 
running on (AFR/Replicate). For whatever reason, sometimes they don't 
clean up properly on exit (.parentlock file remains), so they often 
don't want to start up again until this is cleared manually.

Firefox's implementation of sqlite databases also seems to be having 
problems - bookmarks don't stick, for example. To reproduce the problem, 
have /home mounted on AFR, start up Firefox, save a bookmark, exit 
firefox. Start it up again. The bookmark won't be in the list. This is 
100% reproducible for me. This also isn't a new problem, it's been 
around for as long as I can remember.
