Hi.

I've tested this method - no change :-(
Maybe the major difference is, that I was compiling as root not a normal
user and only user, that had compiled mozilla has ability to run it (silly?
Looks like that...)?
Had anyone compiled mozilla 1.2.1 (I've been testing 1.3a - same thing) for
more than one user?
