Doesn't show anything interesting.

Sorry, mozilla-psm is already the newest version.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62  not upgraded.

(62 not upgraded -- I assume that's life with Sid?)

bumby:~# exit

moseley@bumby:~$ mozilla
moseley@bumby:~$

mozilla starts, but then trying a https: site nothing happens -- doesn't even 
complain.  Same with Galeon.  Before installing mozilla-psm, IIRC, I was 
getting a window pop up saying that I needed to install PSM.

Every rebooted, just in case ;)

I've got two other machines NAT'ed behind another machine running a firewall, 
but they work fine.  I'd expect mozilla to complain that it couldn't connect, 
too.

I moved my ~/.mozilla just in case.

Any other ideas?

moseley@bumby:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla/libnssckbi.so
-rw-r--r--    1 root     root       230264 Mar  7 07:43 
/usr/lib/mozilla/libnssckbi.so

That's odd.  I installed mozilla at that time.  I installed the mozilla-psm 
at almost midnight.

moseley@bumby:~$ ls -l /usr/share/doc/mozilla-psm
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           15 Mar  7 23:56 
/usr/share/doc/mozilla-psm -> mozilla-browser
