I think there may be a package problem with these packages.  Mozilla got
updated with our nightly software update and

/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.7/greprefs and
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.7/init.d

had root ownership with mode 700.  Which makes mozilla act quite oddly
for non-root users.  Our yum updater ran with umask 077, so the
permissions for those directories aren't explicit I would guess.
