Are there any failed mozilla process running when you do a 'ps -ax'?
FWIW, all my users have a .netscape6 directory and a .mozilla directory, and 
Netscape 6 has *never* been installed. I'd copy over the .netscape6 dir to 
/home/new, change perms appropriately and see what happens. Better yet, 'rm 
-rf' the .mozilla directory and then try starting Moz again.

HTH,
