I like to use the old icons from Netscape 4.79 with Mozilla, and I have
collected a number of them and put them into my mozilla\chrome\icons\default
folder. These are all 4bpp (16 color) icons. In this build, Messenger will not
start with the 4bpp icon from Netscape 4.x in the icons folder as enumerated
above, or if there is no icon named "messengerWindow.ico" in the folder. In
either case, it simply hangs up. Normally, it will default to the icon in
Mozilla.exe if none is available in the above folder.
In yesterday's and every other build of 1.0 and 1.1 I tried, my Netscape 4.x
icon set works. I converted the messengerWindow icon to 8bpp, and now Mozilla
starts. All of the other Mozilla components start fine with the 4bpp icon, or
with none specified in chrome\icons\default.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Delete or rename the \mozilla\chrome\icons\default folder, OR replace the
icons therein with 4bpp icons.
2. Try to start various Mozilla components, including messenger.
3. Messenger does not start.
Actual Results:
Messenger does not start. If I click on the messenger icon in my quick start
toolbar on the taskbar, the splash screen comes up, but it never progresses
beyond that. If I already have another Mozilla component started, of course the
splash screen does not appear, but Messenger still never starts.
Expected Results:
It should have used the 16bpp icon specified, or if there was none available in
the aforementioned folder, it should have used the main icon in Mozilla.exe.
Most people will never see this bug, as they will probably use the icons
supplied and never try to change or remove them.

I have to amend this one... even without changing the icons, Messenger quit
starting, spontaneously. I noticed that my user.js file was being ignored (I
have graphical/block quote turned off, and it started to use graphical quoting
again), and when I closed Mozilla and tried to restart Messenger to see if it
would obey my user.js file, it (Messenger) refused to start again. I had not
changed anything in Mozilla since it last worked properly.
The repeatability for this spontaneous bug is unknown-- I have been using
Mozilla for the last few hours, and it worked fine most of that time. I set the
severity to Normal, but it might be worse than that.
Severity: minor → normal

This is almost surely a duplicate of bug 162891. Will mark it as such.
Reporter: if you disagree, give a holler.
