Netscape work's in one OS X identity but not another
I am using Jaguar (10.2.4) and Netscape 7.0.1. I recently had a major crash in OS X and had to erased the partition and reintall OS X. (The start up hung on the blue screen.) After successfully reinstalling OS X and restoring all of my applications and documents, everything is working fine with one exception. I have this machine set up for 2 users. Both have administration privileges. In one user, Netscape works fine and in the other, it doesn't. When I try to launch it, the icon in the dock bounces for 2 seconds and that's about it. So why does it work for one user and not the other?

Do you have a Mozilla folder in /Library/?

yes, Mozilla is present. I solved this problem by simply creating a new user in OS X and removing the old one. Maybe that is what you meant? In any case, removing just the data folder for Netscape for that user did not work. Creating a new user in OS X did the trick.
