Mozilla and Firefox don't start on user account
 

I just installed Slackware 9.1. I booted up as root, went around on Mozilla to get Firefox and remembered to create a user account.

So I do that and I log in to the user account and lo and behold, Mozilla doesn't start up. So, I take Galeon to get Firefox and that doesn't start up either.

Everything works fine as root, nothing works fine as user.

Suggestions?

you seem to have permission problems how did you install firefox?
also what is the error you are getting.

There's no error message, it just doesn't start.

I installed Firefox in the usual way, just decompressing the tar in a directory and running the script to start it.

I checked the permissions and it's 755.

Which group is the user a member of?

find the firefox shell script open it and add this line just below the first line
(first line should have something like #!/bin/sh)
set -x

run firefox from command line and post the output

In fact, nothing seems to be working right in my user account. Everything is fine with root though.

I've managed to isolate the problem to Mozilla and Firefox.

Even Netscape is fine, but Mozilla and Firefox just don't seem to want to get started on normal user accounts.
