It just comes back to a prompt and that is it. > Okay, the only time I've seen it when something similar to what you describe happens (i.e. enter mozilla on the console and have it return to the prompt) is when there is an instance of mozilla already running. Try the following: as ROOT, kill all running mozilla processes. Including all instanced of mozilla-bin and mozilla-launcher. In a console which you logged in as dale, NOT via su/sudo or the like, try to run mozilla. Does it work? No? Again, kill all running mozilla processes, and send us the output of (running as dale) $ strace -o mozilla.strace.output mozilla (send us the file mozilla.strace.output that is produced by the above command).
