Two things, first, make sure your using the run-mozilla script, as opposed to just using nautilus. And if that doesn't work, the really nasty way. It dies with the error saying that nautilus-moz-view failed (or something to that effect, it's been a while). This is it's own program (ie, you can run nautilus-moz-view from the command line). To fix, try doing this, and it will give you more details as why. If it's the same as I had, the problem is that it cant find one of the mozilla shared libraries, even though it really exists. After doing the nautilus-moz-view, run find or locate or whatever to find the location of this share library. When you know the path, run ldconfig -m /path/to/missing/lib after you've ldconfiged, do a nautilus-clean, and try again, it should work. You may consider writing a simple shell script for /usr/local/etc/rc.d so that this can be automagically done everytime you start your machine.
