I think the most likely cause of this problem is that someone previously
ran mozilla as root on the machine, and (due to a bug in mozilla) this
can create a custom system-wide registry file.  The fix is to su to root
and remove the following files:

/usr/athena/include/mozilla/ipcd/tmIPCModule.h
/usr/athena/lib/mozilla/components/libembed_lite.so
/usr/athena/lib/mozilla/liblockmodule.so
/usr/athena/lib/mozilla/libnullplugin.so
/usr/athena/lib/mozilla/libtransmngr.so

The next patch release will take care of this automatically.
