Sometimes mozilla doesn't start

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040312 Description of problem: After I have launched mozilla and wait for some time .. (I don't know how much because it differs) I can no longer launch mozilla by clicking on the "Mozilla Web Browser" icon nor start it from the command line by typing "mozilla". This occurs whether or not I still have an instance of mozilla run. The problem exists on Fedora Core 2 Test 3 (My home machine) as well as on Fedora Core 1 (my work machine). My work around is to start mozilla from the command line using an invalid flag. For example "mozilla -x" works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Mozilla browser 2. Browse around for a long time. (1+ hours) 3. Try to start mozilla browser again with or without shutting down mozilla first. Actual Results: A dialog box "Alert" appears with an informational icon and the text "The file /content/navigator.xul cannot be found. Please check the location and try again." Expected Results: A new Mozilla browser window should open. Additional info:
Hi, got the same problem with FC test 3 (latest version) mozilla -x gives the same Roland
I also have this problem in FC3 (Gnome desktop). I used mozilla OK for a couple of weeks then, one day, I launched firefox. This evidently overwrote all mozilla launchers, and any mozilla launcher I now create fails in this way (every time). However, if I GUI navigate to the usr/lib/mozilla folder, I can start mozilla with no problems!
Please note that FC1 and FC2 are no longer supported even by Fedora Legacy, and that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy only for security issues. Please install a still supported version and retest. If this still occurs on FC3 or FC4 and is a security issue, please reopen the bug and assign it to that version and Fedora Legacy. If it still occurs on FC5, please reopen and assign to the correct version. mozilla was removed from FC6, although the seamonkey application suite, available from Fedora Extras, is derived from it. Similar bugs may also be present in firefox, so if the bug occurs with firefox in FC6, the bug should be reassigned to FC6 and the firefox component.
