This doesn't work either....when I type "Mozilla" from the command line I
get exactly no errors...and nothing seems to get logged anywhere.
But Brian ThunderEagle stumbled across the answer. Here is how we found it:
We launched mozilla-bin. Evidently Mozilla is a script that then launches
mozilla-bin.
After launching the mozilla-bin we got GTK errors. Brian rightly checked
google groups for the answer. He then followed some links that had
information about how the...now get this...the Redmond theme....doesn't work
with mozilla.
We got a little chuckle out of that!
Anyway, we changed our theme to something more compatible and now it works.
Thanks for all the feedback!
For those of you who don't know what a theme is:
I don't either, but it is the thing that changes how your windows look in X.

Sometimes the profile will get messed up and cause mozilla to crash...
Try moving your profile to a different name and see if it starts
normally. If so, then you know where the problem is.
