I would suspect dead mozilla zombies playing havoc with each new instance of mozilla you try to run. Run "ps ax | grep mozilla" to check for mozilla processes and kill each if necessary.

You shouldn't need to un/re-install mozilla. I suggest you run "mozilla" from a terminal to see any error messages that might be output that aren't visible when you run from the GUI launcher.

Are you using ntpd to sync your local clock? Regards, -Matt. -- mhelios - www.fedoraforum.org Registered Linux User #348963 / counter.li.org GnuPG KeyID: 0xCE9F8922 / gnupg.org
