Trying to install protozilla to access telnet:// links results in a crash when
the tools > protozilla dialog is brought up...

with this message..

Access to telnet:// is a must have for 1.0 

Any thoughts on making access to telnet:// avialable in a large NFS network?  

Currently protozilla needs to be installed by the user. Which doesn't work in a 
two thousand user Solaris network.

This sounds like the protozilla libraries are using an old version of an API 
that has changed....

You are probably using a different compiler or mozilla build to the one
protozilla was compiled against.

In any event, if compiling it yourself doesn't help (or you have compile
issues), then report it as a bug at
http://mozdev.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=protozilla

This isn't a mozilla bug; -> invalid.

I can't think of a reason that you couldn't ship protozilla already installed
with any mozilla binaries you ship to your users, but I've never used protozilla
- try asking in their bug system.

Please reopen and think on this more deeply.  Im trying to enable basic
functionality that is available in Netscape 4 and IE and then Mozilla crashed.

If this is a protozilla issue then please coordinate with them to fix.  Putting 
the onus on me to contact the protozilla folks and drive the issue doesn't seem
like mozilla is serious about fixing issues prior to 1.0

Thank you,

Hmmm, why is it always Mozilla's fault?

If you install XFree86, and install a separate program to run on top of XFree86
called Mozilla and Mozilla makes XFree86 crash/hang, people file a bug on Mozilla.

If you install Mozilla, and install a separate program to run on top of Mozilla
called Protozilla and Prototzilla makes Mozilla crash/hang....

I don't see this bug so there is no way for me to coordinate anything with
anyone.  Not to sound harsh, but you have the bug, you coordinate with them.

Anyway, please note that Protozilla has binaries for milestones ONLY. 
Specifically, they say:

Protozilla has only been tested with milestone releases of Mozilla. If you use a
daily build (or your own build) of Mozilla, Protozilla may not work and may even
crash your build!  (http://protozilla.mozdev.org/download.html)

You are using a nightly.  You get what you get.

-->INVALID.
