From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.5+) Gecko/20011029 BuildID: 2001103012 I noticed this with yesterday's builds but thought it might be related to bug 107334, so I didn't pipe up. When doing an install from the mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz file under linux if you choose "Navigator only" you get an empty window blue window (modern theme) or an empty gtk window (classic theme). This window does nothing. Removing the ~/.mozilla directory and launching mozilla produces the same results (I'll attach a screen shot in a minute to demonstrate what I'm talking about). A quick workaround is to install the "Typical" option which appears to install whatever is missing from the "Navigator only". Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download mozilla-i686-pc-linux-gnu-sea.tar.gz. 2. Run mozilla-installer. 3. Choose "Navigator only" install option.

I'm still seeing this bug in the 2001103012 build (which was dated Nov 01 in the download directory...). I poked around a little more, and you can remove all of the non-browser stuff from the "Custom" installation except Mail & News and still get a working broswer. When removing Mail & News I get the following error message at the console: *** Failed to load overlay chrome://messenger/content/mailOverlay.xul Warning add child failed!! And then I get the unusable browser seen in the screenshot above. I know you're all very proud of the mail client, but I'm set in my ways and I'd rather not have to install it... ;)
I'm sorry a caching server here was preventing me from downloading a more recent version (and here I thought you guys had just gotten a faster pipe...). I'm flogging the person responsible for the caching server right now.
