mozilla 1.3: no root/no history

[David Wainberg <dvd@altruistek.com>]

Since upgrading to the latest Mozilla from unstable, I have the following problems with Mozilla:

1-I can't launch Mozilla as root (su or logged in as root). When I type mozilla on the command line, it accepts the command and does nothing but give me a new prompt.

2-When running Mozilla as user, it no longer saves my address bar history. Preferences are set appropriately, but nothing's happening.

I can't find any errors reported on my machine (maybe I don't know where to look). I haven't found any reports on the web of similar problems. Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone tell me how to fix it?

Thank You,
