Josef, does the problem still occur in 1.2.1 or newer?

What happens when Mozilla starts in the browser rather than mail?

Try quitting, remove prefs.js from your profile, and reopen.

I just installed 1.2.1 binary for linux, but I can't reproduce it because I 
only can run mozilla once.

Reporter can you reproduce this bug with a newer build (1.4 final)?
If not, then please close this bug as worksforme. Thanks.

I can't because it only happens with the latest rpm that for RedHat 9
-> Mozilla 1.2.1-26, since I haven't found an rpm of 1.4 final
I can't test it.

I think that the problem is that if you compile it from source (that's
I noticed the last time I done it), it doesn't happen because you only
can start mozilla once (Using the same profile). In RedHat, you can
start it as many as you want, but then comes that blank page.

reporter (Josef), there are RPMs for 1.5. Can you reproduce this bug with it?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
