did you get a talkback window?

you might try
mozilla -CreateProfile clean
mozilla -P clean

won't help if it's crashing before that point (or if you haven't set up a
profile yet).

Do you have MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable set?

> did you get a talkback window?
No, nothing at all, just the mentioned error message. I tried removing
~/.mozilla/ with no luck. Using RC 3 and later (non 1.0) builds works fine, as
does the 20020606 nightly build.

> Do you have MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable set?
No. And it doesn't help if I set it.

Also, using the 1.0 RPMS, Mozilla runs ok if I'm root. If i'm logged in as
myself,   there is no Menubar.

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

works only as root? This sounds like some permission problems...

chmod -R a+r <mozilla-folder> should solve your problems (I hope..)

no answer.
