I just downloaded Mozilla.  Whenever I launch it, I get the error message "The
file <path..../chrome/packages/aim/SidebarPa....> cannot be found"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Mozilla
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
After I get the above error message, Mozilla works but without all the sidebars
on the left side of the window.   Mozilla says ".... sidebar unavailable"

Expected Results:  
No error message; show all sidebars
Mozilla doesn't package any aim chrome files so it wouldn't attempt to register
any.  It looks like a 3rd party chrome file was added to your Mozilla chrome
registry (possibly from Netscape).

I think it's because your profile was made with Netscape, which added the aim
sidebar to your profile's panels.rdf. Mozilla will, of course, fail to load the
aim sidebar.

Are sidebars other than aim not available? 
Profiles created in Netscape aren't supported in Mozilla per the Release Notes.
