Eric - or anyone else who can help - I did as you suggested, and the new
Mozilla works just fine - but ONLY from root. If I log in as a user,
then I can click on Mozilla links till I'm blue in the face, but nothing
happens. I created the shell-script as suggested on the Mozilla Linux
installation page at :

http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.5/installation.html#linux

and I ran it from a bash shell terminal window while logged in as root.
But still nothing - cannot run Mozilla when logged in as user.

Am I missing something here? Should I run this script while logged in
as a user? Is there something else I should be doing?

Thanks for any help on this one - then I'll leave you all in peace ;))
