Update:

Interestingly if I edit run_mozilla.sh like this

#       "$prog" ${1+"$@"}
        /usr/lib/firefox/firefox ${1+"$@"}

then it works fine. The problem is that - $prog is being passed as ./firefox
${1+"$@"} which firefox does not like ?? It only likes the full path. Now why is
full path not being passed??

Pls ignore my previous info. It still does not work after editing those lines.
The re is a problem with the binary,

Give the gtk2 build a try, I hear this works for those who have problems with
the gtk1 build.
