pj@nazgul:~$ kompozer
exec: 121: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox//run-mozilla.sh: not found

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox is not found on this system.

but

/usr/lib/firefox/ is

creating symlink:
sudo mkdir /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/run-mozilla.sh

and then running 'kompozer' gives:

pj@nazgul:~$ kompozer
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox//kompozer-bin

pj@nazgul:~$ ls -l /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox//kompozer-bin
ls: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox//kompozer-bin: No such file or directory

I am unable to reproduce this. Could you please give the output of 'apt-cache policy kompozer', try purging and re-installing it, and perhaps try installing the package from a different mirror?

On my system the run-mozilla.sh script is located at /usr/lib/kompozer/run-mozilla.sh, not where you describe it.

1.
With regards to run-mozilla.sh the line
"exec: 121: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox//run-mozilla.sh: not found" is actual output from kompozer when I start the application.

2.
Here is the output from apt-get:
pj@nazgul:~$ sudo apt-cache policy kompozer

I had this problem too. It apparently occurs if you have the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME environment variable set (some apps need this, ex. those that use the Java SWT browser widget). The kompozer startup script looks for a run-mozilla.sh script in the directory specified by MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME if it is set. I guess for firefox 3 it's no longer there.

The workaround is to unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME before running kompozer, or to alter the /usr/bin/kompozer script and add a export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME="" to the start of it.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

This problem is definitly caused by a set MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME env variable.

I think it would be very apropriate to change the script in a way that it does not check the MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME env-variable or at least calls some "unset MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME" as first command.
Even though the later could have site-effects when kompozer ist called from the command line before another app is called from the same command-line that need MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME.
