I would check the permission on your Firefox profile directory. A starting point would be as follows.
ls -la /home/USERNAME/.mozilla/firefox/Where USERNAME is your username.

total 24
drwxr-xr-x 3 rab rab 4096 2008-05-26 19:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 rab rab 4096 2008-06-20 18:36 ..

OK did that now what do I do?

Your permissions seem to be intact, so that's not the problem.

Every time I use ff3 I have to reset my home page and aeon clouds art work won't be saved.

Delete your ~/.mozilla dir. The default profile is corrupt, which happens sometimes when upgrading Firefox.
You will lose all bookmarks and any extensions you have, but firefox will run properly now.

Don't remove the .mozilla directory, back it up!

use mv ~/.mozilla ~./mozilla-bak

Then in the new profile you can import the bookmarks from the old one

Edit: This should be in general help, not the Café
