166078 - Upon running mozilla, all I get is a tiny window with "Alert" in it. No ability to do anything except close the window.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 165199

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mannie Gross]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020826
Build Identifier: Any build AFTER Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1b) Gecko/20020826

Any nightly build after Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.1b)
Gecko/20020826 causes a tiny "Alert" window to pop up on startup. The only
option I have is to move or close this window. Therefore I can't start mozilla.
After installing an earlier build over the top, everything is OK again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Dowbload a full install from latest nightly build area.
2. Install (no mail or news installed).
3. Upon apparent successful install, mozilla automatically tries to start up.
But all I get is the tiny "Alert" window. Any subsequent attempt to run mozilla
get same "Alert" window.

Actual Results:  
See above

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have started up by going to my homepage.
