I've looked through what I can find and I can't tell how what doesn't work differs from what does. I've installed packages mozilla-firefox and mozilla-thunderbird from apt. I also have ( in /opt/... ) versions un-tarred from the mozilla.org nightlies.

What do I need to do to get these things running? Thanks,Erm, you're not logged into X as root, are you?
Yes. It's when I try logging in as not-root that I cannot even run the thunderbird installation that I /can/ run as root.
