Marvelous. Here's how it went in the end:

> strace -f -v -o ffcrash.trace firefox

I then looked in the output and found:

open("/home/steve/.mozilla/firefox/kyr2ulfu.default/tidy/tidy_last_validated.html",
O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied)

So, I looked and the folder was empty with permissions:

drw-r--r--

I then found that changing them thus did the trick:

drwxr--r--

So cheers for that Gavin. I'd never have worked that out in a million
years, going to email that into the extension developers :D
