i am unsure what the actual executable is the mozilla you type in is a shell script that runs mozilla. its permissions are 777 i set them to that as root and still nothing.
i found the executable and its setup to 755 which means owner and users all have execute permissions but i cant figure out why it will not run. it still is hanging
Code:bash-2.05b$ mozilla *** Registering -webcal handler. *** Registering text/calendar handler. *** Registering webcal protocol handler.

After installing, did you run it as root first, before running it as a user? Some startup problems are caused by not doing this.
