Not that I'm an expert on these issue, but you seem to get the error when
Mozilla calls the gethostbyname function. You can obtain more information
about that call by checking the "Linux Programmer's Manual" pages (i.e.,
'man 3 gethostbyname'). And the error message you're getting appears
defined in the "/usr/src/linux/include/asm-i386/errno.h" header file as
"Try again".
Is there any reason to believe that your own system is not correctly
configured with a hostname perhaps? A good way to tell for sure would be
running the Mozilla binary in the context of a "strace" but I suppose that
would get pretty hairy to explain over here.
In any case, check into possible hostname issues affecting your system
and perhaps also look into possible issues affecting XFree86 configuration
problems (perhaps run the 'xhost +' command before running the program or
something like that).
Sorry I couldn't be much help.
