-> B-g

Your preference file is damaged (crash of mozilla and/or your system)

You can do this :
a) open the file "pref.js" in your profile with a texteditor and repair the
damaged line. (the profile is in your win2k User directory)
b) create a new profile

reporter (juju): did you try that suggestion? can you reproduce this bug with a
recent build of mozilla (for example, 1.2beta)? if so, please comment again with
details. if not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.
