162598 - "Configuration Warning" bug

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 162597

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Bushy]

Hi,

Turning off my laptop yesterday afternoon resulted in some weird stuff happening 
with Mozilla v1.0.

Whenever I startup Mozilla now I receive the pop up error window:

'Configuration Warning'
'An error occurred reading the startup configuration file. Please contact your 
administrator.'
'line 367: SyntaxError: unterminated string literal. 
user_pref("timebomb.first_launch_time","10274'


I like the administrator bit... I am the administrator, and got no idea!

De-installed Moz v1.0 nicely, deleted the entire directory structure, 
re-installed. Same thing.

De-installed Moz v1.0 nicely, deleted the directory, into regedit, blew away 
everything to do with "moz" and "mozilla", downloaded v1.1, installed nicely and 
still get the same error.

What it is doing though is every time upon startup Mozilla creates a new 
profile. It is not reading the already created one.
So, after five startups, and five pop-up error messages, I would have five newly 
created profiles etc, so any previous email in another profile cannot be read.

My work around is to use another PC to read older email, and to fix it on my 
laptop will of course be to blow away NT and do a full OS re-install.

How to start this bug rolling?, got no idea. Maybe turning off a computer with 
NT, with Moz running. Moz was closed and NT was shutdown when I turned my lapo 
off yesterday.

Did a quick search within bugzilla for "367", "10274", 
"timebomb.first_launch_time" and got no results.

cheers,
Dave.
