Mozilla - strangest thing...

This thing emerged fine, even worked including multiple windows and tabs - ONCE!!!

since then (this first onetime occasion) it doesn't work / doesn't load.

I've even rm'ed the .mozilla from ~ to no avail, it recreates it with the same grim consequences...

Does it even spit out an error? maybe route the errors to a text document. Like so if I believe

first of all it does not spit out anything, when run under console it simply "hang" (well, ^c stops it and return to the console).

never the less I've tried it, and, naturally, the outcome file was blank.

I (now) have no doubt it is not related to the ~.mozilla configuration files as when I delete them - in the next run the disk grinds a few seconds (actually a lot of seconds) - most certainly for their recreation.
When the files are there it simply does nothing (when run from the GUI) or hangs the console (as if it's running - when it's obviously not) without doing anything at all.

Make sure you *really*haven't got any instances of mozilla or mozilla-bin running. Run top and kill any you find. I've experienced this too and it's always been because I have a load of failed mozilla processes running...
