You seem to be right. after "unset LC_CTYPE" mozilla works again.
Thanks :-)

Wow this is _incredibly_ broken, simply failing that way. Maybe the port
maintainer could add a warning for this to the installed start-mozilla
shellscript so others won't stumble over this?

Something like this would probably be enough:

case "$LC_CTYPE" in
""|"US"|"C");;
*) echo "If mozilla fails starting up, try \"unset LC_CTYPE\" beforehand";;
esac
