[SOLVED] Shared Firefox Profile on ntfs partition "in use"

Question

After failing to install arch on an ancient computer a year ago, I've successfully installed arch with lightdm and openbox on my current desktop.
Everything works fine except for the firefox profile I share across my partitions.  When I run firefox -p and try to use the profile, I get a message that Firefox cannot use the profile because it is in use, even though I've checked that firefox is not running.
I am aware that using openbox without a DE means other partitions aren't auto mounted in filemanagers (I'm using xfe), and I edited the /etc/fstab to mount the ntfs partition:
# /dev/sdb2 LABEL=Data
UUID=(the UUID is correct, I checked) /media/user/Data  ntfs  rw,auto,user,exec,suid,async,dev,umask=000   0 0
The drive now auto mounts without needing root, but I cannot create new folders even as root (Operation not permitted). Perhaps I've forgotten an option in the fstab?

Thanks! That worked perfectly!
I installed ntfs-3g and changed the fstab to the default on that page, and now firefox loads exactly like in my other partitions.
