This means that the sh process calls the mozilla.sh script. However 
there should be another process which is the actually binary running 
itself. In my system for example:

[georgios at slartibartfast xsltmodule]$ ps aux | grep firefox | grep -v grep
georgios 26071  0.0  0.0 105580  1300 ?        S    17:07   0:00 /bin/sh 
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/run-mozilla.sh /usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/firefox
georgios 26086  6.4  1.0 751968 86940 ?        Rl   17:07   0:13 
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.5/firefox

The latter is the actual binary running.

Why? You do not see the Firefox window?
