mozilla automatically closes before opening
I try to open mozilla and it instantly dissappears as it opens. Mozilla works if I run it in as root but not as a user. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Try running it from a terminal window by typing "mozilla" without the quotes. Post any error messages you see back in this thread.

Maybe this helps:
"Multi-User Linux Installations
To install Mozilla for multiple users on Unix, install as normal, then create the following script in your Mozilla directory, make it executable (chmod u+x <scriptname>), and run it as root. Do not run this program as su[do] root. (Bug 52653)
#!/bin/sh
dist_bin=`dirname $0`
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=$dist_bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dist_bin
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$dist_bin/regxpcom
$dist_bin/regchrome
touch $dist_bin/chrome/user-skins.rdf $dist_bin/chrome/user-locales.rdf
You should then be able to run that installation of Mozilla as any user who has permissions to access it."
Also this may have happened:
"You must run Mozilla at least once to complete autoregistration and for the compreg.dat file to be written to the installation directory. If a different user (other than the person who installed the product) runs the program first, a core dump will occur."

probably a permissions problem with some of your true type fonts, if mozilla can't use any one of them it just kills itself before you can get a chance to stop it.
Just do a chmod +r /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/* and that might fix the problem, if not its still probably a problem with permissions so toggle around a bit with them

I had the same problem. Just ended up reinstalling it. Seems to work so far.
Can anyone tell me if you can use the same profile for different Users? And if not, is there some why to install the plugins at extensionroom.mozdev.org as anyone other than the root? I've tried as just a regular user but it tells me I don't have the authorization. How the heck can I get around this???
