Mozilla troubles
 

Ok, Mozilla will simply not start up as an user. If I open xterm and su to root then start Mozilla from the term it starts fine. What the hell am I doing wrong??? I am on Slackware 10 using Firestarter for my firewall. I can get out using Dillo as a user. Galeon also pops up an error message :
"Ensure the "MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" environment variable is set to the correct Mozilla installation directory"

Can someone translate????:confused:

It must be permission problem as root can execute some files required by mozilla instead of your user.

Try to find mozilla files that have too strict permissions like root:root 0600 (r-w------)or 0700 (rxw------), they should be 0644 or 0755

These commands may help to find those files :

find /usr/lib/mozilla* -perm 0700
find /usr/lib/mozilla* -perm 0600

And to reset them properly :

find /usr/lib/mozilla* -perm 0700 -exec chmod 0755 "{}" \;
find /usr/lib/mozilla* -perm 0600 -exec chmod 0644 "{}" \;

All fixed
