Hi, i guess you mean 'restart' mozilla ;)

Tested it with 2002020415 (yes.. old build) on Linux 2.4.17.

I renamed
'Mozilla Project' to 'Mözilla Projéct', restarted, renamed the folder back to
Mozilla Project, restarted again.. no problem..

But:
Mozilla does weired things with the bookmarks.html in the profiles directory.

'Mözilla' should be 'Mözilla' (imho) in the HTML Source of bookmarks.htm,
but it is: 'Mözilla'

but: mozilla doesn't seam to like something like '&ouml' into the
bookmarks.html. ö isn't displayed as an 'ö' in the bookmarks menue, it's
displayed as ö..
