170496 - Mozilla constantly opens windows when started while Quicklaunch is loading

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core Graveyard :: QuickLaunch (AKA turbo mode), defect)

Description

[Phil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020923
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20020923

If Mozilla is started while the Quicklaunch icon is loading up, Mozilla will
begin to constantly open windows. The taskbar quickly becomes full. The only way
to stop it is to end the task.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The best time to reproduce the problem is just as Windows has displayed the
desktop during startup, and the computer will be quite slow loading other
applications into memory.

Simply load Mozilla using the desktop shortcut before the Quicklaunch icon has
appeared, the problem happens every time here. I've tested this on 3 machines.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla seems to get trapped in an infinite loop, constantly opening new windows.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have started as it normally does.

I can include a screen shot if necessary.

Bug 152757 comment 1 is interesting. This one and bug 176294 may be duplicates
of that one.

From Reporter:

I just tried the latest windows nightly build and I couldn't get it to
do this. Seems to be fixed.
