Mozilla stopped working?

Not sure what happened...I am running Mandrake 9.0 and I was using Mozilla as my web browser I went in and setup Mozilla Messenger as my email client and shortly afterwards both the browser and email client stopped working? When I click on the icons to start them it acts like it is going to open by placing the startup icon in my taskbar and the it spins for a second then just goes away...what could I have done? I tried uninstalling them and reinstalling them with no luck.I have tried starting them from the desktop icon, the start menu icon, and going to /usr/bin/mozilla and clicking to start it from there all with no luck.

have you tried to log out and re/log in KDE again? Maybe a process is preventing them from starting, have you checked the system monitor? It'su under Applicaions->Monitoring->KDE System Guard

the system guard shows youy a list of the processes currently running. If you're not currently running mozilla check if anything with a moz in the name is running, it might be a runaway process that's preventig you from running mozilla. Select the process and kill it.

either that or something's up with your Mozilla profile.

I looked and I did not see any processes running. I am currently downloading Mandrake 9.2 and I plan to do a clean install so I am not going to worry about it, but thanks for your posts

Well , maybe your mozilla config files got corrupted.
If you don't mind losing saved URL's and stuff, you can locate in your home directory to see if a folder (hidden) called .mozilla is there.
Try to delete it (rm -rf .mozilla) and run Mozilla again.
It should recreate that folder.

Go into the mozilla folder that eagle1 mentioned and grab the bookmarks file out of the profiles folder, it should be under default unless you created a new user. I believe the file is bookmarks.html, if not look for a similar name and see if it is it by using an editor to view it if needed.
That way you can delete that folder with out worry of losing those.
