Make sure you don't have any dead mozilla processes laying around -- close all your browsers and type "ps aux| grep mozilla" to be sure. (Or netscape if applicable -- which are you using?). If you see some, kill them with -9. That might fix the problem. Also, you should be able to type "mozilla http://www.trilug.org"; at the command-line. Does that work to open browser with that URL? This has got to be a fixable problem! --Jeremy _______________________________________________ TriLUG mailing list http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ: http://www.trilug.org/~lovelace/faq/TriLUG-faq.html
