(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

[Gustavo Seabra]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040913

I installed mozilla 1.7.3. I did the script for multi-users in Linux, as
recommended. I can use ok as root, but whenerver I try to start as a regular
user, I get the message:

INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

System error?:: Success

Notice that it's even BEFORE installing ANY plugins, so the problem is not with
plugins, as have been suggested by similar posts.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install as root to /usr/local/mozilla
2. Make the script suggested in the installation to run as multiuser, and run it
2. exit from root
3. Try to run as regular user (e.g. /usr/local/mozilla/mozilla)

Actual Results:  
INTERNAL ERROR on Browser End: No manager for initializing factory?

System error?:: Success

Expected Results:  
Should have opened mozilla.

Do you have the java plugin installed? If yes, to what version does your
symbollink point to? You need to use the gcc32 version of the plugin.

Sorry... I had the Java plugin still in the user directory
(/home/--user--/.mozilla/plugins) After removal, it all works fine.
