The first problem that I see is that -UIlocal is not a valid argument
for Mozilla. It should be ignored, but I suppose it could cause
problems. Try "-UIlocale en-US".
Also, Mozilla is usually started from the mozilla shell script which is
usually located in the same directory as mozilla-bin. Find the script
`locate "mozilla" | grep "mozilla$"` and try and start with the script.
To see if you are getting any errors, start Mozilla from a terminal
window.
If it still is not working, the problem could be that your user profile
is damaged. Mozilla stores user-level configurations in a .mozilla
directory in the users $HOME. You can move the profile to a backup
location (e.g., mv $HOME/.mozilla $HOME/.moz.bak) and start mozilla
again. This will require you to recreate your preferences, but will
also enable you to copy preferences like bookmarks.
