Trying to run both Firefox and Mozilla


I'm running Debian Sarge with Mozilla 1.6 and Firefox 0.9.3 installed. I know at one time, I've run both independently, but for some reason, now, when I click on either the Mozilla "shortcut" in the taskbar or on the K menu, firefox comes up instead. The Firefox shortcut links to "mozilla-firefox", and the Mozilla shortcut links to "mozilla %u". Running "mozilla %u" from a Konsole also brings up Firefox.
How can I fix this so each app runs separately?

Thanks,
Mark

OK, I had several files on my system referencing "mozilla". The path that finally worked was "/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin" (without the quotes).
I tried it with and without the "%u", with no difference. What is that "%u" supposed to mean/do?
