File system not writable or Read only File System errors

[Robert F. Stockdale IV]

After rebooting I'm able to write. If I start up mozilla-Firefox then 
the /home  and all sub directories become unwritable. Usually Firefox 
will crash as well. So I've narrowed the problem to Firefox. However, I 
still can't find out why it is doing this. I think if I compile firefox 
from source and then install it, I may have better luck. Suse has been 
giving me several problems lately such as corrupting my sound card on 
YOU (Yast online Update).  It may be time to back it all up and do a 
Gentoo install.  Just don't know if I can find the time. Can't even find 
the time to fix the sound card trouble.
