/usr/bin/mozilla and /usr/bin/mozilla-<vers> are scripts (actually,
the former points to /etc/alternatives/mozilla which points to the
latter on my machine). In them should be a variable MOZ_PROGRAM .
You should check to see that this is pointing to
/usr/lib/mozilla/mozilla-bin and that you're not getting it set
elsewhere in, say, your (or the system) .bashrc or .bash_login .
The first thing to try is
prompt> echo $MOZ_PROGRAM
If this isn't empty, that's probably your problem.
