That is a problem with the Ximian packages missing a file.

It is already reported in Ximian's bugzilla, see their bug
http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20299

Not a Mozilla issue - resolving as invalid.

for reference libtimer_gtk is no longer used by mozilla, you should probably delete component.reg and any references to it from components/

vrfy invalid

Reporter: Just to test something: Can you delete component.reg in the mozilla
binary directory, and then try starting it again as root this time. 
(IF starting as root works: Also start each component once, then quit and start
as regular user.) Please report back on web whether this worked or not.

I deleted component.reg and ran a script to regenerate that file.
/usr/lib/mozilla/rebuild-databases.sh as root.

Worked fine, after which galeon also worked fine.
