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!
