Mozilla abnormal exit

Hi, I am running RH8.0, and while d/ling the jre runtime(java plugin), mozilla just exited at about 97%. It gave no error message or anyhing. since then, I have not been able to get mozilla to stay open. It will open, load the home page then exit. Anyone know whats up/can help me?

open terminal
rm -fr .mozilla

Run mozilla

If you have bookmarks, back 'em up. It's in the folder.

I'm having the same problem. In redhat 8.0, in GNOME mozilla closes after downloading the home page. It doesn't happen in KDE, though. I tried the fix stated earlier "rm -fr .mozilla" but it's not helping. Any other ideas would help.

You should do that after exiting Mozilla. I assume you must have.

Start mozilla from the command prompt and not with a button/start menu. If it crashes you'll see the error. Please past that error in the thread.

The more info, the better!
