I looked in that directory and all that is there is mozplugger.so.
Renaming it or rmoving it made no difference.
If I go to a command line and type "mozilla" (sans quotes) I get the
command prompt back right away with no error messages. "which mozilla"
reports "/usr/bin/mozilla" and if I try "mozilla -mail" I get
"Segmentation fault".
Could it be that normal running is hitting this segmentation fault,
absorbing the error and ending. How can I re-install mozilla? I have
tried using the package manager gui to uninstall it so that I could
re-install it but it tells me that I need a bunch of dependencies or
something to uninstall (don't quite understand that).
The machine is at the current FC1 level by using up2date.
