Every time I start the browser, I get an error dialogue, ---------------------------- An error occured reading the startup configuration file. Please contact your administrator. line 125: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. user_pref("mail.server.server1.host ------------------------- I have grepped and manually looked for this string, but can't find it in any file. There's nothing to indicate what "startup configuration file" means. Second, this error is presented in a window which refuses to come forward. I have to minimize every other open window just to get to it, in order to dismiss it. An error window like this should definitely assert itself to the front, rather than hiding behind all other windows and refusing to come forward. I reinstalled Mozilla, no difference. Reinstalled to a different (new) directory, no difference. Reverted to a previous version, ditto. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Just start Mozilla 2. 3. Actual Results: Error dialogue, shy and hiding in the background Expected Results: Identified the filename of the offending configuration file, at minimum.

Reporter: You "prefs.js" file is corupt. This can happen if a) your system crashes b) mozilla crashes Please try to repair the line in the file prefs.js (in your profile folder) or create a new profile. You can also try to replace it with the copy of that file (prefs.bak) but i think that is possible also corrupt now.) The profile is not deleted if you deinstall mozilla -> invalid (no bug)
