I began with the Mozilla-1.* which was installed as a package with FC2.  There
have been multiple updates since install.  The current version of Mozilla is
Mozilla-1.7.6, and the current kernel is 2.6.10-1.771_FC2.  
I had just been using Moz-browser/Moz-mail an hour or so earlier.  I was offline
for a while, and needed to get online again, when the problem began.
When I un-installed, I did it via apt-get/synaptic, a complete removal, and
reinstalled via synaptic.  The current version installed by apt/synaptic is
37:1.7.6-1.2.5. 
Fedora Core 2 (2.6.10-1.771_FC2) and Mozilla-suite v 1.7.6-1.2.5
Thank you for your response.

sounds like a problem with apt-get... you aren't using a build from .mozilla.org
and we really have no idea what apt-get did to Mozilla or your system.

Anyway, try running mozilla from the commandline

also, the current version of Mozilla is 1.7.7

resolving INVALID -- this is not a Mozilla bug.  please reopen if you install a
.mozilla.org build and still can't run Mozilla
