150762 - New mozilla doesn't get past mozilla profile manager

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect)

Description

[tim ball]

Using red-carpet on a RH 7.2 machine I upgraded to mozilla 1.0 from 0.9.9. Upon
start of mozilla the Mozilla Profile Manager brings up it's dialog box prompting
me to create a new profile.

Clicking anything that you would assume would make the profile manager quit and
mozilla start causes the following error to be printed in a pop-up window: 

"Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)
[nslProfileInternal.startApprunner]"

The "fix" that I had to do was: mv ~/.mozilla ~/mozilla then copy back my
bookmarks and reset all the preferences. 

frank informs me this is not his bug and he'll close this on ximian's
bugzilla.... <sigh> guess I have to cut and paste this to send to mozilla's
actual bugzilla.
