That doesn't explain things in my case.  I do all of my compiling and 
installing while logged in as root, NOT via sudo.  (Why? long story, see
the P.S. if you care).  So the install script never heard of user drm,
and couldn't be responsible for creating /Users/drm/.mozilla.

See, the real problem is, even if a user is installing stuff and somehow
because of leftover environment information in sudo that user can be
identified, maybe it's a *different* user on the same machine with a faulty
./mozilla directory.

P.S. Once upon a time Dave had a fink package that wouldn't install properly.
He was tearing out his hair, trying to understand why "rm" wouldn't work
correctly, until he finally realized that he has "alias rm 'rm -i'" set
in his shell, and when operating in sudo mode fink inherited this.

So he developed the habit of running one of his Terminal windows as root
("su -l" does it).
