Package: xulrunner-24.0
Version: 24.2.0esr-1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

  "Error: Access was denied while trying to open files in your profile
directory."

  This message is too long with too little information about the cause. 
The name of the possible or real profile directory should be shown.
  Also the file containing the error message should be mentioned (read
the 'GNU coding standards' and do it better than it).

  In my case it was '~/.cache/mozilla' which did not have the 'x'
permission.

  How about "libxul.so: Error: Directory ... was not accessible."?
