I'm at a bit of a loss regarding my mozilla-1.6-0. I installed it using yast on my 8.2 pro. I know this sounds a little odd but I can only open mozilla reliably by clicking a desktop shortcut and then _while_ it is icon flashing, select mozilla from the menu (internet/www/mozilla). If I do it the other way round, or only use the shortcut or the menu listing, it just flashes the icon for a while - no mozilla. What's more, say I open moz as described above, use it for a bit, then close it. For a period of time both the shortcut and the menu listing will work on their own. The same applies to using the shell to launch mozilla. If moz has been open recently, typing 'mozilla' lauches the app as one would expect. It's been about half an hour since I used moz, and now typing 'mozilla' - nothing. Most curious. Mozilla is installed in /opt/mozilla. I can go to /opt/mozilla/bin and type 'mozilla' and the app opens ok .. sometimes, other times, nothing. The shortcut for mozilla executes /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla.sh. I'm not sure this is correct, but if I change it to opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla - kdeinit returns an error. I read some of the mozilla.sh shell script and it seems that it is the correct launcher. So I thought, lets just get it to reliably open from a shell, who needs shortcuts. I am baffled by the inconsistency here. Just now I tried, from a new shell the command 'mozilla'. Nothing. Jake@linux:~> mozilla Jake@linux:~> On the third try though, up pops moz. I used command recall, I was not doing anything different. I have added /opt/mozilla/bin to my path, no change. So now I try putting a shell script in my home/bin directory along the lines of: #! /bin/bash cd /opt/mozilla/bin mozilla (also tried mozilla.sh) (not forgetting to chmod +x). This seems to have no effect, although interestingly, if I cd to ~/bin before issuing the 'mozilla' command, up pops moz. I retry later, and it no longer works even in ~/bin (it worked after 2 attempts). At this point I try pointing the shortcut at my shell script but this doesn't work. I have firebird installed on the same machine, no problems there. Could it somehow be the culprit? Sorry about the long post. You can see I'm in a bit of a mess here. I suspect I've made more than one newbish mistake and that the mistakes have become entangled making it difficult for me to solve my problem.
