128411 - Mozilla uses Netscape's settings for Advanced->System

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Startup & Profiles, defect)

Description

[Brian 'netdragon' Bober]

Mozilla seems to grab the desktop integration settings (associations) used by
Netscape set in Advanced->System independant of what profile I use. If I ever go
into preferences and click "OK", Mozilla takes over my settings from Netscape
and it becomes a huge tug of war because when I remove the settings, it does so
for Netscape too.

I am using buildid 2002022808.

I used a talkback zip.

I didn't use the same profile :-)

This isn't a duplicate. If anything it is dependant on that other bug. It has
nothing to do with profiles either, I believe. I use different profiles for
Mozilla and Netscape.

Comment 5

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

The problem is Mozilla\Profiles\registry.dat and Mozilla and Netscape use the
same Profile folder and registry.dat file.

Right, but saying this is a dupe will make it so that this isn't checked to see
if its fixed when that bug is fixed. They are separate related bugs.

confirming
dont' think that changing advanced/system pref in a profile used in one app, 
should not affect profiles used in other app
