I ran the disk repair through MainMenu and got the following and was wondering if any of this means something? As in reload the OS or what ever maybe a warning sign..... Came over from windows in March of this past year and am not totally up on Unix/Apple. Any and all help is appreciated. Also Firefox keeps crapping out now and then.

Those warnings are perfectly normal, and are nothing to worry about. Everyone running 10.5.1 gets them, including myself...

As for your Firefox issue, are you running the latest FF update? Have you tried disabling/uninstalling extensions? One way to test this is to run Firefox in "Safe Mode". I forget how you do this on the Mac, though.
 
I got the same permissions issue as well. Started getting nervous since you usually don't see those on a MAC. I will run Leopard without worry now.

Thanks for the information, also I have read elsewhere that FF on Macs is qwerky to say the least but is being looked into .
