So, in /usr/bin/mozilla/, you have a _link_:
/usr/bin/mozilla/mozilla-1.6
which points back to:
/usr/bin/mozilla-1.6
_Why_ you have that link, I can't imagine. However, assuming there is
a /usr/bin/mozilla-1.6, to call mozilla, you do:
/usr/bin/mozilla-1.6 &
It also seems odd that the contents of that dir are all owned
michael.michael, and that's potentially a problem. It means you in
your user account can delete mozilla. You should be very careful with
your "rm" commands. :-) Those things ought to be owned root.root and
executable by anyone.
If nothing else, this had made for an interesting tutorial in
Unix/Linux directory structure. :-)
Glad you finally got it working. Congratulations.
