Rep:Re: [Lilux-help] programs works as root, but not as user

[Vincent Bremaud]

If this doesn't work, the thing I would do would be to launch mozilla in
gdb, wait for the SIGSEGV signal, and see in which line in the source of
Mozilla is the problem. Maybe a variable contains a reference to the
resource causing the problem.
Just a thought...

This is very strange. I would log in as a normal user and do a

mv .mozilla .mozilla.bck

Start Mozilla and let it create a new .mozilla. Check if the problem
still persists.

A good method to see which files are accessed is by using strace. But I
have never used strace on a big program like Mozilla.

Have you changed your Mozilla or do you use the default Slackware
package?
