I thought this was a talkback enabled build, but no talkback.  How to enable?

Possible duplicate of bug 106585 in which case this should be fixed in bugs
later than 2001-10-25 15:20

A resemblant stack reported for Mac in dup bug 106567, even if the OS in bug
106585 wasn't modified.

[Greg K.]

Reporter, Fizzilla builds don't include TalkBack, as it isn't available for Mac OS X.

Instead, enable crash logging in the Console application's preferences.

[Greg K.]

(Reporter, need I mention, *do* attach a CrashReporter report hereon ASAP.)

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

[e-mail] - according to R.K.Aa, this might already be fixed. Are you
still seeing it?

Comment 6

[Bruce Davidson]

Bug 110847 (which I have marked as a dup of this one) specifies that this
happens on checking IMAP e-mail accounts. However its not clear if it only
happens then, or if it might occur more generally. Just one more pointer to help
the guys tracking this one down.

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Please turn on the Crash Reporter and compare the stack trace with the newer one
attached to bug 93458.

Comment 8

[Greg K.]

Paul, can you still reproduce this problem under 0.9.6?

Comment 9

[J Luh]

Another way to get this console message (at least for me) is to open up Profile
Manager and then press the "Exit" button. The problem does not always cause a
crash; the application will often quit without a crash.

This is with Mozilla 0.9.6 on Mac OS X 10.1.1.

Comment 10

[J Luh]

Any chance this can be fixed for Mozilla 0.9.8?

Comment 11

[Greg K.]

Adding 'mozilla0.9.8' keyword on behalf of James Luh.

Comment 12

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

This is kinda hard to fix unless someone attaches an actual crash log to the 
bug...  see comment #2

James?  Paul?   Could one of you do that?

Comment 14

[J Luh]

I no longer get this error message on the console. It may have been fixed.

Comment 15

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

sfraser fixed bug 124517.

Comment 16

[Adam Hauner]

Anybody seen this bug in recent builds?
