pierre@pierre:~$ mozilla

Immediatly it put me back on the shell.
But if I am root it works.
I have check the permissions and it's ok.
I have never seen this, Mozilla 1.2 worked perfect.
I just installed 1.2.1 and I got this error.
So I tried the latest build, but the same.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Log on user
2.Launch Mozilla
3.See:)

Actual Results:  
Nothing, but no error also!

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have been launched.

I attach you the output of "strace mozilla"

the strace is of the mozilla startup script.  you need "strace -f" to follow
forks...

it sounds like you're seeing bug 163524.  Could you check the "components"
directory of mozilla and see if it has execute permission?

Ok sorry I was a bit tired :)

Yes it's probably bug 163524, and related to the fact that I recently set the
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variable.

So the solution (waiting for a better one) is
chmod 755 /usr/local/mozilla/components  ?

Comment 6

[Andrew Schultz]

yes, that would fix your current installation.  the real fix is to not set
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
