Hi, I just recently installed Slackware 9.1 on my machine... I could use Mozilla when im logged in as root.... but when I created a new user, that user account can not open Mozilla... but it could open up other programs... Any ideas? thanks

Hmmm, is it that it can't find Mozilla? If so, as root, enter
which mozilla
then try launching it with the full path as a regular user.

If it is some kind of permission problem, etc, we need to see that. Launch mozilla from a terminal and post the errors, or lack thereof. Not quite enough to go on as written.

or launch mozilla on startup by loading it during boot, but with this there is the problem, that always when you log in mozilla will be loaded.
or try to chmod 777 the mozilla binary mozilla

I have exactly the same problem here. Mozilla runs fine as root, but it doesn't start for a regular user. I tried loading from a terminal to see if there were any errors, but it doen't say anything (absolutely anything), it just returns to the bash prompt.

I tried to set chmod 777 to the mozilla binary, but it still doesn't work.

This really bugs me. I really like Mozilla.

yes...exactly the same thing happend to me yesterday

strace output gave no relevant information too, then I just reinstalled mozilla (removepkg, installpkg) and it worked. strange. maybe some mozillas' strike?

I too could only start Mozilla as root and had started to trying to get round the situation by looking at permissions etc. etc.

However I then tried Mozilla Firebird (lean & mean stand alone Mozilla web browser) and, as I much preferred it, I simply removed Mozilla and am now a happy Mozilla Firebird user.

The only bad thing is that I'm not sure I've installed it correctly (I just untarred it into /usr/MozillaFirebird) but it works so I'll "do the job properly" at a later date when I hopefully know a bit more about the Linux File Syetem (or at least how Slackware uses it)

Just my tuppence worth...
