Mandrake 10 and mozilla

I just installed mandrake 10.0, and, after many problems, and a full reinstall formatting and deleting everything, I got it working fine, and continued to install hundreds of programs :P (took me hours to install all this stuff...and I'm not done yet :P I plan to install EVERYTHING, though I won't use 98% of it :P)

Anyways, Mozilla doesn't work. Nothing with the word 'mozilla' in it will work at all. I click it and nothing happens. I tried reinstalling it, but it didn't change anything. Anyone else have this problem, or is it just me?

 

also, when I try to run it from terminal, it doesn't say 'command not found'...it doesn't come up with an error...just this nothing:

 

[urza9814@localhost urza9814]$mozilla

[urza9814@localhost urza9814]$

try renaming the /home/<username here>/.mozilla folder to something else and have mozilla recreate the temp files it needs.

 

You could also just use phe^H/firebir^H/firefox or whatever it's call this week right?

I reinstalled it from mozilla.org and that fixed my problems...but I'm using firefox now anyways...my comp is soo freaking slow! firefox runs faster than mozilla did on 9.2 though...quite nice to have SOMETHING run a decent speed :P

Aha...it was only after seeing your message and realizing I wasn't the only one that I figured out the problem.

 

Go to your home directory and check the owner of ".mozilla"

 

If it's root, then it won't work. Change it to you:you with...

 

> su

Password:

$ chown [myusername]:[myusername] .mozilla

$ exit

> mozilla

 

...and all will be well!
