for some reason now mozilla and MozillaFirebird will only run as root. When other users try it has no output and goes back to a prompt at the cli.
here's what I got from debug:

uhm. what does ls -l /usb/bin/mozilla tell you?

Right before you stopped being able to use Mozilla(-Firebird) as a normal user, did you install any extensions system-wide? I had the problem of installing a certain extension as root and then not being able to start as a user. When I deleted that extension, the problems stopped and everything worked as normal again.

actually i did install some extensions as root, and then i think i emerged mozilla again cause now i dont have any extentions listed so i cant remove the offender...
how can i remove all mozilla stuff incl. extensions, so i can reinstall. emerge -C doesnt work

I believe the extensions are installed into /usr/lib/mozilla-*

I just deleted them and reinstalled, but had packages available :)
