150293 - Lose functionality of Mozilla browser when opening more than one browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 82534

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[A.Kissire]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; Q312461)
BuildID:    2002053012

I launch Mozilla from the desktop icon.  The first one functions perfectly.  
However, if I open a second or third or fourth browser using the desktop 
shortcut icon, the consecutive browsers accept no input in any fashion.  They 
are non-responsive to mouse or keyboard.  The first browser is still fully 
functional.  If I launch consecutive browsers using file - new - Navigator 
Window the problem is not encountered.  I can only produce this bug using the 
desktop icon.  I have deleted and recreated the desktop icon/shortcut but the 
bug still persists.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.launch browser from desktop icon
2.launch another browser from desktop icon
3.all consecutive browser windows are active but will not accept input.

Actual Results:  I had to close all additional browser windows.

Expected Results:  I should be able to browse with as many Mozilla 
windows/processes open as my PC can handle.  As it is right now I can only use 
one via the desktop icon launch method.  If I want more than that open, I have 
to use the file - new - Navigator Window method.

I am going to uninstall and reinstall and see what happens.  I am also going to 
try this new version 1.0 build on a 98se machine tonight.

thank you...AK

this is wfm with win2k build 20020606..

be sure that you installed Mozilla in a clean directory...

And File/New Navigator window works ?

this is a possible dupe of bug 82534

Marking WFM, it's not a dupe as 82534 allows mouse movement in the window.

"The mouse still works in the consecutively opened browsers.  I cannot however
input using the keyboard.  The browser navigation buttons and url links in the
browser windows work, I just cannot type in the url window or any other input
fields within the open window."
