This is not exactly a problem, since currently Mozilla appears to be working. I'm curious as to why the following has happened:
1. I updated to the latest Mozilla in Debian Sid by doing an "apt-get install mozilla".This installed Mozilla 1.5-3. 2.Initially certain functions failed to operate. For instance, using Google was impossible as the browser would not send my typed search terms either with the "enter" key or by clicking on the relevant "button". In composer, similarly most of the buttons were unresponsive. In the mail program several icons were greyed out, and so on... 3. I did a "dpkg-reconfigure" mozilla, and the application sprang back to life, but now when I try to start mozilla from the menu (the browser component) I get Mozilla-Firebird instead. (Firebird is 0.6.1) Mozilla --help returns the information: "Usage: /usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin [options..] [URL], so I created a launcher with the /usr/lib/... path and this works fine. (This path is not in my $PATH.) Changing the menu entry in gnome, I havent yet worked out how to do. Can anyone explain what might have happened? BTW, "which mozilla" returns /usr/bin/mozilla, and checking "ls -al /usr/bin/mozilla" shows that it is a link to "/etc/alternatives/mozilla". "/usr/bin/MozillaFirebird" is not a link; it appears to be the executable binary, or the launch script for it. I'm cautious about altering the link for /usr/bin/mozilla, as I assume it is a way for Debian to find the binary... but then the link doesn't do what it's designed to do!
