If the pref files don't exist, the driver never detected the unit so far. First try a complete removal of driver files, in case you ever installed wrong (PPC) drivers. Repair disk permissions then install the driver again.

Otherwise, since the unit works fine on another system, your iMac might have some trouble. Shut down, unplug all peripherals, unplug the iMac power cable, then hold the power button in to drain residual power. Plug it back in, and try the FF again.

If it still doesn't work, then your cable might be defective.
