With Mozilla 1.1 (and apparantly 1.0 as well) if you install mozilla on OS X and
then run it, it will create preferences. If you change your hard drive name for
any reason, on the next launch mozilla hangs and will not finish the launch.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Mozilla.
2. Run Mozilla.
3. Quit Mozilla.
4. Change Hard Drive Name
5. Launch Mozilla
Actual Results:
Displays splash screen... never goes any further.
Expected Results:
Finished launching and start properly.
This seems to be related to the full path being encoded in the preference files.
Best guess is that it fails and get's stuck.
Changing the HD name back will cause the problem to go away... though If I want
to keep the new HD name, I have to throw away my entire preferences directory..
nothing else works.
Dup of bug 165841?

Jason, can you still reproduce this problem using a current nightly build?

I could reproduce this problem in a previous version of Mozilla. However, I can
no longer reproduce it using Mozilla 1.3 and Mac OS 10.2.4.
