Reporter:
Have you deleted the file "compreg.dat" or installed mozilla in a clean directory ?

Comment 2

[Peter 'vt100' Schwindt]

Matti: won't you dupe that one?

Comment 3

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

yes, why not.
this old compreg.dat can also cause a crash.

Reporter: Please reopen if you see this with a clean install and/or deleted
compreg.dat.

Peter : according to the bug report, the user is aware of bug 171441 but thinks
this is different.

Reporter : the information you give is ambigious : OS is set to Win2k, yet your
user agent says "Linux i986, hi Mom". This makes tracking bugs a bit harder.
Seeing an error in appcomps.dll, i will just assume that you're on Win2K. 

The way i read this, there are two seperate bugs here. My suggestion is to mark
this bug a duplicate of 171441 for the failing downloads, and ask the reporter
to submit a new (separate) bug for the browser crash in appcomps.dll.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

Patrick : no, the user has the old "compreg.dat". A bug is only useful if he get
a crash with a clean install.

Patrick: roger that. One bug - one issue. Downlowad problem is a dupe; the other
bug (dll crash) should go to a new bug; so far it is INVALID because the
information is missing or incosistent.

verified dupe.
