OK, I ran /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla.sh from a terminal window and got a message that no sound card was found. I've got an old Ensoniq VIVO card that Alsa doesn't support. I have to use an OSS driver.
Here situation is similar. I'm running nvidia proprietary driver. Some programs can detect it. All alsa tools complains there is no sound card but eg. kaffeine has audio. Mozilla freezed when I tried to see a realvideo stuff and no way to get rid of open Mozilla. realplayer was in the list of zombie processes. Just closing KDE get rid of it, no need to reboot. I ran RealPlayer and first thing I saw was a registration form. I filled it but after registering a pop up came out to say "no audio" and I couldn't see anything. Now Mozilla get freez every time I try to see realplayer stuff but I can close it. I'm not that interested in solving the problem... I tested Mozilla cos Konqueror asked to install Realplayer plug-in even if it was already installed. But maybe these symptoms may help diagnosis the problems.
