<mozilla-install-dir>/components/xpti.dat is autogenerated when mozilla 
is run
the first time, and recreated if it's missing at later times.

The problem is ownership. Look at the one from Red Hat.
It's owned by root, and only writable by root.
same for the whole components directory. So you need to

1) run mozilla as roo to recreate the file

or

2) run <mozilla-install-dir>/mozilla-rebuild-databases.pl
as root to recreate all the autogenerated files. It runs regxpcom
and regchrome for you.
