firefox won't let mozilla suite load


Hi, I have recently installed Mozilla Firefox into my home folder, and ever since I did that the Mozilla Suite will not load. I even typed in the full path to mozilla's executable as shown below

/opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla.sh

and it automatically loads firefox now....Has anyone else had this problem and can anyone think of any ways to fix this?

I'm running Slackware with KDE at the moment. I have Firefox installed
in ~/ and Mozilla still opens from the KDE menu. However, there is no
/opt/mozilla/bin/ directory on this system. Mozilla opens from ~/ with
this as the command in the KDE menu - mozilla %u

Probably not any help with those distros, but maybe it will give you some
place to start checking.

Yea, I also have firefox installed in ~/firefox/

SUSE installs mozilla into /opt/mozilla/....but even when executing the binary for the mozilla suite it still loads firefox for some reason. Maybe I should try as root and see if it does the same thing, maybe my user account is just messed up.

I guess I could install Netscape, that would probably work.
