I can't reproduce this bug.  I only got;

kohda@fits:~$ xdvi anything.tex
Can't open `/home/kohda/anything.tex.dvi': No such file or directory

but mozilla was not launched.

kohda@fits:~$ dpkg -l tetex-bin
ii  tetex-bin      1.0.7+20011202 teTeX binary files

kohda@fits:~$ dpkg -l mozilla* | grep ^ii
ii  mozilla-browse 1.0.0-0.woody. Mozilla Web Browser - core and browser
ii  mozilla-psm    1.0.0-0.woody. Mozilla Web Browser - Personal Security Mana
