I don't understand this issue.

I dumped Mozilla 0.6 and downloaded and installed the later build dated 12/19.
I installed it (as superuser) and then downloaded the PSM and installed it.  
I quit mozilla and restarted as I read you should do.  

OK, I then tried to access the https page associated with logging into the 
DNA sequencing request page I previously posted.  It took a while but finally 
it did work.  GREAT! (I thought).

I quit mozilla and restarted it as a user.  I then tried to access the same 
secure website and it just sat there and sat there and never loaded the page.
I hit the stop load button and that screwed mozilla.  The window remains but
it is no longer functional nor is it refreshed.  I re-maximized my kmail 
window over the mozilla dead window and then re-minimized it.  The mozilla 
window now contained an image of kmail stuck in it.  I had to kill mozilla
again and restart it to get it working.  Goddamn mozilla, goddamn nutscrape.

So, the personal security manager ONLY works properly for root?  It can only
be installed by root (unless you install mozilla and the psm into your own
home directory, I suppose, but I don't want to have to install that mozilla 
beast into my home directory - its too damn big and harddrive space is
a bit precious on my laptop.  Besides that, it is ridiculous to have to
install a full copy of mozilla for any and all users who want to use it).

Anyone have a functional mozilla that works well with the psm...as a frickin'
user?  (NOT ROOT).
