Hi all,
my Mozilla runs fine when I am the root user, but not when I use a
"normal" user. It starts OK, gets the default page, and produces a
segmentation fault when it is about to render the page.
As it is OK when run with root permissions, I suppose it is a permission
or path problem.
My more general question is: how can I find out which ressources are
searched for, accessed, and with what result?

This is very strange. I would log in as a normal user and do a
mv .mozilla .mozilla.bck
Start Mozilla and let it create a new .mozilla. Check if the problem
still persists.
A good method to see which files are accessed is by using strace. But I
have never used strace on a big program like Mozilla.
Have you changed your Mozilla or do you use the default Slackware package?

The lsof tool can also help, showing the open files of the processes, but I also
