Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[R. Dan Panella]

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

When I installed 1.2b over 1.1, I then tried to lauch it, however it just
stalled there at the splash screen saying "Starting" or building first window.
Since I'm on Mac OS 10.1.5, I went into the library under my home folder and
trashed the Mozilla library folder. That solved the problem. Before I did that
though, I triend to reinstall 1.1 over 1.2b, and that gave me the same stall
problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install 1.2b over 1.1
2.Try to launch browser
3.

Actual Results:  
Stalled at Spash screen.

Expected Results:  
Opened my home page.

Could be the theme incompatibility problem. Reporter, the theme format changed
from 1.1 to 1.2b. What theme were you using in 1.1? Does it work if you switch
back to Modern or Classic in 1.1, then launch 1.2b again?

the same thing happend to me: Mozilla 1.2.1 (enlg OSX) intalling over 1.1. The
Mozilla starting window opens and freezes while displaying "creating first window". 
When switching back to Mozilla 1.1 my Theme was also reset but otherwise my
settings are still there (I hope so at least).

I'm doing this on OSX 10.1.4

1.2.1 is long past. Resolving WFM.
