Do you have IBM Web Browser installed?

Can you set BEGINLIBPATH= the place where you put Mozilla before starting it?

Comment 2

[Philhard Ackermann]

Yep, you're perfectly right.
I searched my disk for occurences of nspr4.dll and found it at the location
where the IBM browser is installed. Seems Mozilla didn't load its own special copy.
The LIBPATH line in config.sys didn't contain the '.' at its start any more, so
going to Mozilla's dir and starting it there didn't do the trick. I set it with
BEGINLIBPATH and this made it working.

Thanks for the advice. On the other hand I seem to only get the IBM Browser *or*
Mozilla to run, not both of them. Even BEGINLIBPATH doesn't work every time.

Still, this is an OS problem rather than a browser problem. Might be worth
mentioning in the OS/2 specific documentation, though. 'Bug' fixed;-)
