This happens to me too(I get a blank/empty Sidebar), when I start Mozilla in
offline mode. When I turn the Sidebar off and on again, it works. This happened
to me before too, on builds older than 1.0 RC1.

I am using Windows 98, 1.0 RC1, i.e. :
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417

This might be a dupe of bug 138043.

Comment 3

[Kai Lahmann (is there, where MNG is)]

dup? the other Bug is on Windows... and here on Linux/RC1 it works.

Comment 4

[Shark Daddy (Jonathan L.)]

Tried a new profile?

This may be Bug 138043, just that it manifests itself more with MacOS, but I
agree that these two should remain separate at least for now.

BTW, WFM on Win2k...but you knew that already...

I can't reproduce this in the April 22 OS X trunk build (2002-04-22-03). I need
more specific steps from the reporter to see it.

[sujay]

Pascal, try a clean re-install and relaunch with a new profile...it should
work

Comment 7

[sujay]

we can't reproduce this....try a clean re-install and new profile.

also see this bug also:  bug 138043

that person said it works for him now, so we marked that bug WFM.

could be same problem here...
