Details

(Keywords: hang)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021016

Started Mozilla 1.2b beta using the Profile Manager, selected an existing
profile that has worked before, and Mozilla hangs.  I force quit Mozilla and
then started Mozilla 1.1 using the same profile and it started correctly.  Then
went back to Mozilla 1.2b and it was able to start using the profile that
originally hung.

This problem is very intermittent.

I have seen this same hang running Mozilla 1.2a beta.  Ihave never had this
problem with Mozilla 1.1.



Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Start Mozilla 1.2b.
2.  Select a profile using the Profile Manager.
3.  Notice that Mozilla hangs and must be forced quit.
4.  Start Mozilla 1.1 using the same profile.
5.  Mozilla starts properly and can be quit normally.
6.  Start Mozilla 1.2b again using the same profile and notice that it now
starts correctly.
 

Actual Results:  
Mozilla 1.2b hangs using the profile, Mozilla 1.1 starts OK with the profile,
and then Mozilla 1.2b starts OK with the same profile.

Expected Results:  
Should not hang when using the profile.
Keywords: hang
I suspect this is due to problem with XUL.mfl in your profile folder.
Reporter (Dick Riegner), next time Mozilla hangs happens, try delete
the XUL.mfl file and restart with the same version.
