Your profile is probably corrupted, maybe because you use a theme that is not
compatible with moz 1.2.1. Create a new profile, there should be a
Profilemanager icon in your mozilla program folder, and start mozilla with that.

Same `Bug` on 2 machines, win98 and ME, and solved as Torben says, creating a
new  profile!

I also have this problem. I have managed to actually get Mozilla to open. If 
you double click on one of the components like composer, or mail and 
news, it bypasses the splash screen, however a new window does not 
open, menus can be naviagted, but if you attempt to open a new window 
on any component of mozilla, it stalls and only a force quit will work. 

I'm using OS 9.1

Lex, unless you are seeing this on a new profile your comment is worthless.

Mo-D, Lex, if a new profile fixes this you should be able to fix the old profile
by deleting chrome.rdf in the chrome folder inside the old profile.
