From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID: 2002021903
Have Quick Launch enabled on my XP Professional (corporate) edition. When XP
starts (i.e. desktop appears) a window appears top left of screen with no
content. Closing window creates the standard Quick Launch helper screen (with
'don't show again' clicker) - closing this makes Quick Launch icon appear in
status area (bottom right).
Trouble is this happens (almost) every time XP starts (whatever status of 'don't
show again' clicker). Not sure why doesn't happen every time, or if this is a
user problem rather than Mozilla. We currently only have one XP computer, so
might be quirk we have introduced, but doesn't happen on W2K professional or
server machines on same network.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clean build of XP Pro
2. Install 0.98 Mozilla and shut down
3. Start Computer and log in as a user
Actual Results: empty window appears top left of screen
closing window throws up quick launch helper screen
closing helper screen causes Quick Launch icon to appear in status area.
Expected Results: Quicklaunch should start up in background with no windows
showing, and no helper if previous launch has resulted in 'don't show again'
clicker being ticked.

Reporter:
Please upgrade to Mozilla 0.9.9 and please uninstall mozilla before you install
the new version (you will not loose your profile data).
If you still see this, try a new profile.
(run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create an additional test profile)

Reinstalled 0.99 (build 2002031104) on clean install of Windows XP Pro and
get same result.

I'm seeing the same problem, with the added condition that after closing this
non-functional window, and choosing any option from right-clicking the Mozilla
system tray icon, Mozilla crashes (see Talkback incident TB5643793H). I'm
running RC1.0 on Win98SE after doing a clean reinstall.
I believe this should be changed to Major.

OK, after several thousand reloads and reboots I seem to have found a source for
this problem. This first showed up for me around 0.98, and persisted through to
1.1a, including Netscape PR7. I had done clean installs each time, and built
new profiles many times, yet upon bootup would eventually find a small empty
window in the upper left hand corner of the screen (although starting from 1.1a
I would no longer get a crash upon closing this window). I narrowed down the
problem to the existence of a Netscape\MozillaTrunk directory under components,
with permdata.box in this directory. If I deleted the tree (starting with
Netscape), I wouldn't get the small window at my next boot. However, the tree
would get rebuilt, and upon rebooting again the small window had reappeared. A
bit more sleuthing suggested this permdata.box tree is part of the FullCircle
talkbalk software; reloading Mozilla 1.1a without the Quality Feedback Agent
eliminated this problem.
I don't know why I'm seeing this problem while others apparently aren't, but
hopefully this clue will help.

Well, I was mistaken. The phantom window is back, even without the Quality
Feedback Agent installed. I can make it go away on my next boot by deleting
component.reg, but on the following boot it reappears. I'm about out of ideas
on debugging this one. Note that just starting Mozilla with the -turbo option
doesn't do it - it's got to be after a reboot. If I fully exit Mozilla after
its initial load, then restart it with -turbo (as it's being started from the
registry at boot time) the phantom window doesn't appear.

Reporter and others,
Will you try on more recent nightlies and see if this recurs for you? I cannot
reproduce here.
