I had that problem and it turned out to be due to something on the Errata page: "Bug 11983 - After install from the live iso ~/.cache is left owned by root. Workaround is to run (as root) "chown $USER:$USER /home/$USER/.cache", replacing $USER with the user id. The affect of this bug, is that it will stop programs that try to create files in ~/.cache (like firefox) from working." Try that workaround.

So closing as duplicate @ Tadej Feel free to reopen this report if changing the owner of ~/.cache to the owner of your /home doesn't solve this problem *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 11983 ***
