I have removed all the traces of the previous mozilla installations. (~/mozilla, /usr/bin/mozilla.. /usr/local/bin/mozilla... etc etc etc ) So, the system was clean. After that I've downloaded tar.gz version for LINUX. The package was DL into this directory: /usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9 My next step was "tar xvfz mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-0.9.tar.gz" then "cd mozilla" and finaly "./mozilla &" Guess what ? NOTHING HAPPENED. I got on the screen: [tina@tina mozilla]$ ./mozilla ./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-bin MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla:/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla/plugins:/usr/local/lib LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla:/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla/components SHLIB_PATH=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla LIBPATH=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla ADDON_PATH=/usr/local/downloads/tarballs/mozilla/0.9/mozilla MOZ_PROGRAM=./mozilla-bin MOZ_TOOLKIT= moz_debug=0 moz_debugger= [tina@tina mozilla]$ NO BROWSER, NO MESSAGE, NO NOTHING...NO ERROR .. NO NOTHING Can somebody tell me what i am doing wrong ? Thanks BTW... eveythink works fine as "root" Mozilla 0.9 Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.14-5.0 i686; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505

I cannot confirm this- installed build 2001051108 as regular user and launched. Igor, Not sure this is Installer issue-can you view the install log and post any problems noted here? changing assignee- should this go to browser component?

Did you try to do CLEAN install ? I mean, did you remove ALL traces of old mozilla accross the file system ? Where is located installer log ? Igor

I remove all profile data and install into a new directory. The install.log is in the installation directory.

I am not able to find any install log file in the install directory. Is this because I installed moz 0.9 from tarball ??

tar does not create log files, the log file is created if you run the installer to install. Mozilla from the tarball must usually be run once as root to create certain files. I think some people have had luck running only regxpcom and then regchrome as root instead of having to run the full-blown browser. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 42184 ***
