149738 - Mozilla messes up Netscape6's user preferences

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 107694

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Bayer]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002051918

When running mozilla-1.0 on an user account for that previously Netscape-6 has
been configured, the user's settings (preferences) for Netscape will be changed:
After having Mozilla closed, a new-started Netscape-6 will connect to its
first-usage-page and show you the "internet keywords" buttom, even if this was
disabled in Netscape's settings prior to running Mozilla.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have both, Netscape 6.2 and Mozilla 1.0 installed
2. Have your Netscape6 configured
3. Lunch Mozilla, do what you willt, close it
4. Start Netscape

Actual Results:  Netscape will start at the first-usage-page, some preferences
are lost.

Expected Results:  A version of Mozilla should not intercept with other versions
of it nor with any version of Netscape.

Not Mozilla's fault.
Netscape use the mozilla based profiles and mozilla can change preferences to
reflect the new state.
Mozilla is new and NS6.x is old.
