103647 - Download of Java2 plug-in has hozed Mozilla Startup

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 84896

(Core Graveyard :: Plug-ins, defect)

Description

[David W. Graham]

The system:

Linux KRUD - Red Hat 7.1 Varient (www.tummy.com)
It is not the same as the bug problem of crashing the browser when the plug-in
is lauched.  This is a different problem.

Here is my Mozilla version
[dave@solar mozilla]$ ./mozilla -v
./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-bin -v
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/mozilla
  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/plugins:/usr/lib
     LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla:/usr/local/mozilla/components
       SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
          LIBPATH=/usr/local/mozilla
       ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/mozilla
      MOZ_PROGRAM=./mozilla-bin
      MOZ_TOOLKIT=
        moz_debug=0
     moz_debugger=
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.4) Gecko/20010913, build
2001091311

Here is what happened:

1) Went to a page that required the JAVA 2 plug-in.  I can't give you the URL
since a coworker set it up on our intra-net.
2) Was prompted to download plug-in.
3) Went to the Netscape plug-in download page.
4) Selected Linux
5) Downloaded Plug-in
6) Plug-in failed to install since I was not root. (I noticed it was trying to
write to /usr/local/mozilla)
7) Launched a root console
8) Launched another Mozilla Browser from the root console
9) Successfully installed the JAVA 2 plug-in using Mozilla Browser running as
root

10) Tried to click on the applet that needed JAVA 2 plug-in within the Mozilla
Browser running root.  It acted as if the plug-in was not installed.
11) Decided I probably needed to restart mozilla.  Closed all mozilla windows.
12) Tried to restart mozzilla as my local user and got a dialoge box saying
"The program must close to allow previous installation attempt to Complete.
Please restart." with an "Ok" button.
When I click Ok it quits.  When ever I try to start mozzila the dialoge appears.
13) Logged out and logged back in.  Still the problem persists.

This is a major headache.  I have been using mozilla as my email reader and now
I am having difficulty getting to my eamil.

I would love a quick solution on how to convince Mozilla that the installation
was completed.  I am just not sure where to begin.
