Reporter 0.6 was for developers only. Try with the latest nightlies and if you
still have the problem please file a detailed bug report on it. Marking invalid.

Testing with 2001-01-05-21-Mtrunk.

I am still not able to start MOZILLA as regular user on LINUX. All I get
on screen is the following:
[tina@tina package]$ pwd
/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/2001-01-05-21-Mtrunk/package
[tina@tina package]$ ./mozilla
./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-bin

      MOZ_TOOLKIT=
        moz_debug=0
     moz_debugger=
Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*"


=================================================================
but, if I start MOZILLA as "su" I get on the screen the following
=================================================================
[tina@tina package]$ su
Password: 
[root@tina package]# ./mozilla
./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-bin

in SetSecurityButton


The only difference between them is the last line:
"in SetSecurityButton"

Please do the following:

1)  Delete root's .mozilla and the user's .mozilla (or move them)
2)  Do a clean install of a Mozilla nighly
3)  run Mozilla once as root
4)  run Mozilla as a regular user.

If that fixes your problem, then this is a duplicate of one of the bugs tracked
by bug 41057

MOZILLA 0.7 does not have this problem anymore. I have installed it
as a regular user and I was able use it as a regular user
