After installing version M16 I couldn't use it. I deleted the directory tree
[._MOZILLA] and started MOZILLA without success, message:
$ mozilla
Starting mozilla-bin...
ProfileManager : CreateNewProfile
Profile Name: default
Profile Dir: /pl_disk/jakobus/.mozilla
WEBSHELL+ = 1
WEBSHELL+ = 2
CSSLoaderImpl::LoadAgentSheet: Load of URL 'file:
///pl_disk/jakobus/.mozilla/default/chrome/user.css

WEBSHELL+ = 3
in SetSecurityButton
WEBSHELL- = 2

Next I started MOZILLA under SYSTEM account and it works, message:

This is OpenVMS; I'll take it.

Since M16 runs fine from the SYSTEM account, this is almost certainly a problem 
with your USER account. Please post quota details (from AUTHORIZE) for the 
account which is failing.

Under my user account I've the priviledges NETMBX and TMPMBX and I can't use
MOZILLA. If I enable the priviledge READALL for my process I'm able to use
MOZILLA !!! So the problem is file security. Under SYSTEM account I changed the
protection:
$ set file/prot=(S:rwed,O:rwed,G:re,W:re) sys$common:[mozilla...]*.*;*
Now I'm able to run MOZILLA.
I installed MOZILLA under SYSTEM account the standard protection is SYSTEM=RWED,
OWNER=RWED, GROUP=RE, WORLD=NO ACCESS so the install procedure for MOZILLA
should be fixed.

Something strange going on here. Whenever I install Mozilla using PCSI, all the 
files automatically have W:RE protection. Did you change this protection?
I strictley use the computer under my user account. For installation of M16 I
logged in as SYSTEM and used PRODUCT INSTALL. The default protection for SYSTEM
is World: NO ACCESS. I didn't change the protection of the installed files. The
directory SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA] has the protection: (RWE,RWE,RE,RE)
The Mozilla installation doesn't do anything special when it comes to file 
protection, and the default directory and file protection set up by PCSI is 
W:RE. This is what the protection should have been after the product was 
installed, and this should be the correct protection to allow Mozilla to run 
from a non-priv's account. I can not explain why the protection was incorrect.

Can you try another installation, to another destination, and see what the 
protection is after the installation completes. Also see if you can run Mozilla 
from that installation.
