From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc1) Gecko/20020417 BuildID: 2002041711 When running both Netscape 6 (6.2.2) and Mozilla, if Mozilla is opened first (before Netscape 6) all is well. If Netscape 6 is opened first, the homepage is Netscape's homepage (not the default homepage). If Mozilla is then opened (Netscape can be opened or closed at this point) CSS and Javascript is not renderred at all for all sites at all times. If Netscape 6 is then reopened, it will still function properly. However, Mozilla will never work properly until the computer is restarted. There is also a quirkiness associated with the default browser status. After Netscape 6 is opened, Mozilla will ask if it should be the default browser although Netscape never changed it. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Mozilla 2. Open Netscape 6 3. Open Mozilla again Actual Results: Mozilla no longer properly renderred CSS or Javascript. Expected Results: No change in renderring should have occurred. Programs that are usually running while running Mozilla and Netscape 6: Serv-U FTP Server Trillian (chat client) The Bat (Email) I am using the Modern theme but it occurs with the Classic thenme as well. This never causes a crash or a freeze. Computer config: 1.4 Gigahertz Athlon 512 Megs DDR RAM 40 Gigabyte Hard Drive (7200 RPM Ultra ATA)
The start page change is ok since you are using one profile with different browser versions. Do you run mozilla and Netscape at the same time to see the CSS problem ?
------- Additional Comments From Matti@epost.de 2002-04-28 07:37 ------- The start page change is ok since you are using one profile with different browser versions. Do you run mozilla and Netscape at the same time to see the CSS problem ? No. All I need to do is open Netscape before I open Mozilla. Once Netscape is opened, whether I close it or not does not make a difference, Mozilla still stops displaying CSS (this occurs in the sidebar as well).
-> Profile Manager (is there a conflicht with NS6.22) ?

I have updated to a new build with the same results. Build ID is now 2002043010.
I get similar problems when I install Mozilla 1.0 RC2 on a system with Netscape 6.2.2 already installed. Image display and CSS utilization goes awry. CPU utilization is high. Mozilla's quick loader cancels out the one for Netscape. Since I'm a web developer for multiple web sites that must run in multiple browsers, I need to have Netscape and Mozilla peacefully coexist.
I have downloaded RC 2 and the same problem persists.
create a profile for each browser - on windows, start -> programs -> mozilla -> profile manager

John, Did you try Doron's steps in Comment #7?
I missed that email so I just tried that now. So far so good. I'll follow up in a week or so to let you know how it works out. I have both starting up with the PC now so if it doesn't work, it won't take long to find out.
Verified invalid. I've contacted the reporter and so far everything looks good.

When I use a new profile, all seems to work well. However, if I do not use a new profile, the problem persists. Sometimes, the problem does not go away even after rebooting. I have to uninstall both browsers and then reinstall them to get them to work properly. The only reason why I have brought this up and continue to follow it, is that multiple people use my computer. However, each one may use a different browser, either because they perceive a difference, or they just don't care what browser they use. But, they won't create their own profile because they either like my bookmarks or don't want to/can't create their own. So, if two users open two different browsers, we run into our problem.

Sounds like a shared profile. Reporter: when mozilla "acts up": Does deleting cache help? If so: Dup of bug 156512 -> bug 146285
Correct! Clearing the cache does work. This is a duplicate bug. At least I now know a workaround. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 146285 ***
