This does not block Mozilla development.

Have you tried anything?  Like completely removing and reinstalling it?

Please uninstall all mozilla versions you have, delete any mozilla.org directory
under program files, delete any mozilla directory in unser common files and then
install Mozilla 1.6. Reopen if you still experience the same problem.
