I must admit that I don't know at what stage mozilla has stopped as I
was doing a number of things with this one machine yesterday. However now when I click on the mozilla startup icon at the bottom of
the screen it appears to begin to start but then just ends without
any messages displayed. Is there a way to determine why mozilla is
not starting, then I might have a hope about fixing it.

Open up a terminal window and type in "strace mozilla."
This will start up mozilla and keep a running log in the terminal window of wha't going on. When mozilla crashes you may be able to determine the cause by going back and looking at the running log.

I have tried deleting the .mozilla directory but that makes no difference.
I suspect that maybe a file is bad. How can I force a re-install of Mozilla from the CD ?
