Bad: How To Disable Gconfd In Firefox

I use Firefox 16 for my automation and it uses gconfd internally.
Is there a way to disable firefox from using gconfd. It writes a lot of data into saved_state which is leading to crashing total usage of CPU.

I have found –disable-gconf
but not sure how to compile firefox with that command


Is there a way to disable log messages from gconf?

Firefox Security Best Practices

What are the recommended best security practices for using Firefox on a new Linux system (Centos 7 in my case)? I only access the web using Firefox using my regular, non-root, account. Other than that, what Firefox and/or system settings should I enable/disable in order to safeguard my system from malware scripts, viruses, etc? Also, are there similar Thunderbird settings that should be enabled/disabled?

Thanks in advance from a new Linux user

Here is the problem:
/usr/lib/libgconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256

Here are all the solutions I founded on the internet (NONE of them work):
rm -rf /var/tmp/rc_host_0
chown -rwx root:root /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
chmod 0755 /home
chmod a+rwx /tmp

cat /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system
mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.default
chmod 775 /etc/gconf/gconf.xml.system

Here is my system information:
Linux Kernel v2.6.32-504.12.2.el6.x86_64
CentOS 6.6
GNOME 2.28.2

I have been searching for an answer all week and found NONE.
Somebody, Anybody please help!!!

The only solution I found that works is deleting all the .files, but there's got to be a better way.
