No problem. I had 0.9.2 installed and working till I saw the mail,
though I downloaded 0.9.3 earlier. I upgraded and tried it as a user.
It's running right now.

Things such as this happen to me when I upgrade libraries sometimes. Not
always, but sometimes. Especially glibc libraries. Sometimes a reboot
fixes things (even though you shouldn't need to do it). Sometime it
doesn't.

You could try running strace on it (strace mozilla) from a commandline
and see if you can find where it's going awry.
