I just tried to chnage the permissions on the .mozilla folder's contents 
and got the following error.

ray at ray-desktop:~/.mozilla$ sudo chown -R ray:ray
chown: missing operand after `ray:ray'
Try `chown --help' for more information.

I don't know how to specify all files for the file target which is 
missing in the command according to man chown.
