246127 - browser bobbing instead of loading

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246789

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[kguru]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040514
Build Identifier: Firefox 0.9 release candidate for Mac OS X June 9, 2004

When I try to open Firefox, it keeps bobbing on the dock.  The icon disappears,
reappears, and keeps on doing so.  I had to try force quitting it multiple times
(running OS 10.3.4) until it finally worked.  If I tried launching a second
version of Firefox, the 2nd one says the profile is already in use, and the
other one keeps bobbing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.




I'm going to call this a blocker due to the inability to launch the browser and
because the process could cause a computer lock up.

After bug244304 fixes with a emergency measure, it has been reproducing until now.

This seems similar to bug 246789... are you running off a disc image?

Confirmed this is occuring when it is located in the Applications folder on the
hard drive.  The same type of behavior also occurs if I use it from a disk image.
