My problem is that after installing mozilla (from ximian rpm package) I couldn't start mozilla as user. It always crashes whit "segmentation fault" I already see this when i installed netscape 6. I killed the ".mozilla" directory but w/o any effect. I have an official updated RH7.0 w/ Ximian Gnome Bye!
This is a known issue that you must install/start mozilla the first time as root and then you can start it as a non root user. see also bug 42184

Okay! It looks like a duplicate from bug 42184. My solution for "mozilla" was to give worldwide write access to the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME directory. Thats of course sucks but looks like the only valid way! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42184 ***
