Anything in popuplog.os2?  Do you have exceptq installed (not required, 
but recommended for when there are crashes)?  If so, do you have any 
*.trp files in the program directory?  You can also try capturing any 
output by running it like so:
   firefox.exe > output.txt 2>&1

Note that the files in mzfntcfgft have newer versions in mozsupport, so 
you don't really need that any more.

I don't think you need this when you have UNIXROOT configured, but I 
think in that case it is expected that you not have \@unixroot either. 
I'm not the expert on that, though; I just extracted fontconfig to the 
root of the same drive as the Mozilla apps, which is the simplest method 
if you aren't using YUM to download and install the RPM packages.
