100699 - App hangs on launch

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 87864

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Peter Trudelle]

After using today's branch build since this morning, it suddenly froze up, and 
after I killed the task, it now consistently freezes on launch. Mail displays 
the mail window, but freezes before displaying my IMAP auth.  Browser freezes 
while showing the splashscreen.  100% reproducible.  QuickLaunch is on (and I 
have no obvious way to turn it off!)

Can launch into profile manager, and migrate and use another profile.  Seems 
like something has become corrupted in my main profile.  Any guesses as to how 
to diagnose how this happened (and hopefully how to recover)?

Whatever it is, app hangs in the same way even after disabling QuickLaunch.

Yikes!  looks like the problem is my bookmarks file, it is 10 times larger than 
yesterday (2.7 MB!)  When I rename it, the app starts. cc ben

Looks like this is just a dup of 87864, which I tried to repro 3 days ago, and 
it just now killed my profile by making 10,000+ copies each of a few bookmarks.
