(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rob Erickson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1

After installing Flash player 6, my menu's change to include "Debug" and "QA". 
In addition, my bookmarks go away and "Manage bookmarks" brings up an empty (and
0-sized) window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove old MozillaFirebird program directory
2. Unzip a new MozillaFirebird installation in the same location
3. Run flashplayer6installer.exe
3. Start MozillaFirebird

Actual Results:  
Menu changes to include "Debug" and "QA".
Bookmarks go away.
Unable to add new bookmarks.
"Manage Bookmarks" brings up an empty window.


I have also tried installing the Shockwave player first, and I get the same
results.  
I get the same results with versions 0.6 and 0.6.1.

I have been getting a similar problem, except worse.  Whenever I use firebird
with flash 6 installed, whenever I go to a site with an embedded SWF, the
browser hangs, and then apparantly locks up the entire computer's network
drivers.  Neither firebird nor internet explorer, nor even windows explorer
browsing the LAN is able to contact remote machines until a hard reset of the
computer.  A hard reset is necessary for me because MozillaFirebird.exe stays as
a running process and cannot be killed via the WinXPPro task manager.

I have not, however, ahd the bookmarks or menus change/disappear.

Please try a current nightly, a bug in the Macromedia installer was breaking
line endings in all.js.
