Comment 1

[Chris Petersen]

What about a more current nightly build ? I have no problem with the June 29th
build.

Comment 2

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

hmmm. I installed 2002-07-01-05-trunk chimera and it crashed on launch.  I went
back one build at a time and crashed on launch for each build. Finally, the
2002-06-28-05-trunk, launched fine.  Then I reinstalled July 1 again and it
luanched fine. 

Comment 3

[Garret Huntress]

I only encountered this problem using 2002-07-01-05-trunk.  My work around was
to delete the following directories/files:
"~Library/Chimera"
"~Library/Project X"
"~Library/Preferences/com.mozilla.navigator.plist"

After deleting those, Chimera loaded with no problems.

Comment 4

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

hrm, perhaps this would occur if the previous build was from 6/27 or earlier?
6/26 i could understand, but i'd think 6/27 would be fine since that's when the
file rewrite and profile fixes went in...unless of course there were more
changes that went in post-6/27-build...

Comment 5

[Winnie Lam]

Simon/Conrad:  Does this have to do with the profile weirdness that we saw last
week?

Adding to blockers list.

Comment 6

[Neil Lee [:neilio]]

This is the original reporter with an update: I just downloaded the 070102-
04:59:00 build and it died on launch, too. I haven't deleted my old preferences
/ bookmarks yet, just the org.mozilla.navigator.plist file (which didn't fix the
problem).

That sucks if I need to redo my prefs..

Comment 7

[Greg K.]

FWIW, I just updated from Chimera/20020625 to 20020701 and my prefs were wiped
clean, though I had no trouble starting up.

Comment 8

[Greg K.]

*** Bug 155310 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 9

[Patty Mac]

It also crashs after the installation (branch build: 2002-07-02-05).
I'm not sure it's because of multiple profiles, but I currently have more
than 1 profile.

Comment 10

[Neil Lee [:neilio]]

Original reporter: I wiped out my original preferences and profile folders and
it started clean.

Comment 11

[Conrad Carlen (not reading bugmail)]

In comment #9, are you sure you've got the right product? (Chimera)

> Simon/Conrad:  Does this have to do with the profile weirdness that we saw last
week?

Probably so. Using a build after 6/28 should work, no matter which build was run
last. (Though reports say otherwise. I need to investigate, obviously) Using a
post-6/28 build and then going back to the 6/27 build will crash. Using a
post-6/28 build and going back further than 6/27 should work because, before
6/27, the registry and profile was in ~/.mozilla.

Comment 12

[Patty Mac]

I want to correct on my comment #9, actually this is only one profile.  Anyway, in
order to avoid the crash, go to Mac OSX > users (your name) > Library > Chimera
So throw away that folder "Chimeara" into trash, and then re-install it again,
it works. I will also attach the crash.log assuming if you don't throw away
'chimera'
folder into trash, the crash always exists everytime.

Comment 13

[Patty Mac]

Attachment: crash log

Comment 14

[Conrad Carlen (not reading bugmail)]

Patty Mac - If you still have a Chimera folder which causes a crash, can you
stuff the whole thing (minus the "Cache" dir) and attach it? I'm not getting
this crash and perhaps there's something in your registry that's causing it.

Comment 15

[Simon Fraser [no longer active]]

Now that profiles have moved to ~/Library/Application Support/Chimera, this bug
will only hit if a user manually moves the contents of their profile directory
around.

Comment 16

[Brian Ryner (not reading)]

Should we close the bug then?

Comment 17

[saari (gone)]

closing
