183717 - Mozilla startup fails after bringing up banner window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Chris Josephes]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90)
Build Identifier: http://www.mozilla.org/releases/

Mozilla 1.2.1 refuses to start up, or maybe refuses to bring up a starting 
window.  A reboot and then a fresh install didn't correct the problem.  The 
Mozilla logo comes up, and then the program hangs.  Task Manager still lists a 
Mozilla application running, so I can shut it down from there.  A second 
attempt to run it (before a reboot) will do nothing.

On last successful use, Mozilla was unable to open new windows, but was able to 
open new tabs.  The last website visited was Orbitz.com.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Double-Click Mozilla icon
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla mascot logo comes up.  Startup halts at this point.

Expected Results:  
A new mozilla window should appear when startup is successful.

Reporter : Please run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an additional test
profile

Chris, do you use third party themes?
If yes, then they might be the cause (incompatible after update).
In addition to creating a new test profile please try removing the 'chrome'
folder from your profile directory. This *might* help you keep the old profile
and solve both of your problems (see bug 144027).

That did it.

After I installed 1.2, I grabbed a compatable copy of the Orbit theme.
Then I upgraded to 1.2.1.  Initially, Mozilla started out with no theme, so I 
assumed that it had a problem with Orbit and just reverted back to the default.

Thanks.
