Let me explain: I have a nice FreeBSD workstation (running FreeBSD 10.2-RELEASE-p10) that works very well for me. On this ws I have two users (say user1 and user2), but only one of them (user1) is in the wheel group. The second user is just in it's own group because I do not use it to administer the ws. So I have: root@dukefleed:~ # groups user1 user1 wheel root@dukefleed:~ # groups user2 users If I launch thunderbird with user1 all is OK but, if I try to start thunderbird as user2, I receive the following error: user2@dukefleed:~ % thunderbird Could not find the Mozilla runtime. No matter if I try to launch it via the full path, cd into /usr/local/bin,... it does not start. The problem disappear if I add user2 to the wheel group. Providing that I could add user2 to the wheel group and solve the problem, I would like to know why I have this behavior. By the way: on the same ws, firefox DOES start without problems for both the two users, and in particular (for user2) it starts even if I do NOT add it to the wheel group. Sorry but I googled a lot without finding any link to a solution... Do you have any ideas? I use thunderbird 38.5.0 Thank you very much and kind regards. Mauro.
