Do you have any plugins or bookmarks? If not, just delete the ~/.mozilla
file and be done with it. Start the app and you'll be fine. (I gather
this to be the case since root runs fine.)
Actually before you do that, you might want to save your mail files.
Unfortunately, I don't have Mozilla Mail installed on my system (using
Thunderbird) so I don't know the directory you'll want to save. Maybe
someone can help me here? Maybe it's ~/.mozilla/mail ?? Don't remember.
If you do have bookmarks and plugins, save the ~/.mozilla/plugins and
~/.mozilla/default/[funky number]/bookmarks.html files.
Heck, come to think of it, save those and delete the ~/.mozilla/default
directory (saving your bookmarks) and restart the app. Then just put
your bookmarks file right back in there and you should be fine.
But no. No virus there. Nobody home but us lizards.
