After installing my backup of /home and seeing firefox not restart, I started it from the command line with the immediate error:

I'm sorry, I'm at a complete loss. What's a GRE?
It's probably misspelt and something on your disk was eaten by a GRUE.
Try "sudo xulrunner --register-global", because somehow firefox believes that it cannot find a working xulrunner instance on your machine.
Do that *after* you checked that firefox and xulrunner are updated to the latest versions:
Your first request. # rpm -q firefox xulrunner firefox-3.0.5-1.el5.centos xulrunner-1.9.0.5-1.el5
Your second request. # xulrunner --register-global # This returns nothing.
[angenenr@shutdown ~]$rpm -q firefox xulrunner firefox-3.0.5-1.el5.centos.x86_64 xulrunner-1.9.0.5-1.el5.x86_64 [angenenr@shutdown ~]$
Cheers,

PS: A GRE really isn't as fearsome as a GRUE is, a GRE is just the Gecko Runtime Environment. PPS: Depending on how you have been socialized: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grue_(monster)
I thank you! Will peruse the above URL when I have a working Firefox. This was working before hard drive change.
