[This problem is experienced by Nisha, cc'd here; if you've got something
to add, please let her know.]
When mozilla is opened, the first window works normally; if we try
to open a second window, either by clicking on the mozilla icon, or
by hitting ctrl-n, it shows a blank white screen and empty URL bar.
Any attempt to open a page, either by clicking on "home" or by entering
the URL result in a pop-up, with a message to the effect of, "Can't open /
no such file or directory" (paraphrased).
We tried removing her multiple profiles, as well as moving aside the
whole mozilla directory and letting mozilla convert a new one from her
netscape 4 preferences; it seemed to make no difference.
We were testing this on a cluster linux machine, but it apparently
happens everywhere, ever since the switch to mozilla.
