Mozilla Problem

[Jnaslund]

Recently installed mozilla and all the sudden whenever I try to load a page other than my home page, mozilla dumps me to the desktop. Anyone know how to fix this? Otherwise how do I remove mozzila and start again? I tried rpm -e mozzila-versionnumber.rpm in the directory with the rpm but that didn't work.

Not a real answer, but just because you remove mozilla, you may not be back to where you started. Depending on your previous browser (assuming netscape here), your important information files might have been altered to a mozilla format (changed not too long ago, and incompatible with older mozilla/netscape files).

A better way to try mozilla is to download a nightly version of it as a tarball. Then: tar -xvzf <filename>

Do this in an appropriate directory, and you shouldn't have to worry about removing mozilla from your system, as it should only affect files in that freshly created directory.

Hindsight is great, huh?

To uninstall a RPM, you only use the package name. Like this:

rpm -e mozilla

As Scott says, you can just unpack the nightly or release tarball somewhere and run it from there. My /home directory is where I usually put it.

The same thing happened to me with the first 0.9.3 build. After awhile, it seemed to fix itself, but I'm on a different build now anyways. (august 4th)
