Mozilla (1.7) only runs in root.
When I try running Mozilla (the stock one in Slackware, not Firefox) it doesn't open.. when I try opening in terminal I get:
bash-2.05b$ mozilla *** Registering -webcal handler. *** Registering text/calendar handler. *** Registering webcal protocol handler. And it just hangs. When I try opening it from root, however, it works fine. I tried chmoding /usr/bin/mozilla to 777 (which is probably a dumb and dangerous thing to do) and it still doesn't open with regular users. My question is.. why does it do this and how can I fix it? |
Maybe try doing this: sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/mozilla, or if you don't have sudo, do su -c "chmod +x /usr/bin/mozilla"
If this doesn't work, mozilla's config file might be owned by root, or it was just a funky install. |

Is /usr/bin/mozilla the actual executable or just a symlink? I'm asking because the default installation directory (as used by mozilla.org's own installers) is /usr/local/mozilla/ , though it may be different on Slack. On my system, /usr/bin/mozilla is just a symlink to /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla. All files in /usr/local/mozilla are owned by root and set to rwrr-xr-x. |
