Joe Your guidance has resolved my problem. Once I removed the Locale settings from my profile Mozilla started as expected. Of note the crrect entry was in /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/res/unixcharset.properties, and a check of $LANG after I started Gnome was "en_AU.ISO_8859-1" I do not know where this is being set, however, my system now works so I will leave well enough alone.
