181776 - Mozilla process wont die after exit and download man, mail windows wont start

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 171441

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Erik Lechak]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: www.mozilla.org

I used mozilla 1.1 all the time.  No problems.  I tried to upgrade to 1.2.  So 
I downloaded it from www.mozilla.org (win32 XP).  Install appeared to work 
correctly.  When I started the 1.2 it worked.  Then I tried to download 
something and the download manager would not open.  Then I found that Mail 
would not open.  I can't even open a new browser window.  When I exit the 
program (with the X in the upper right), it seems to exit but I can't start it 
up again.  On closer inspection the mozilla process is still running.  When I 
close it I can start mozilla again.  But again the browser will go away but 
the process stays running on exit.  I can start Mail after killing the process 
and starting mail first.  But then I can't open any other mozilla windows.  I 
uninstalled 1.2 and went back to 1.1, but the problem is still there.  I have 
completely uninstalled Mozilla several times, on reload the problem is still 
there.  Now mozilla is useless to me.  Can't wait to get this fixed.  I like 
mozilla!!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install 1.2 on mozilla
2.start mozilla browser
3.try to open another browser window or mail or the download manager

Actual Results:  
When I click on the ships wheel or mail icon(lower left of mozilla app) I get 
an hourglass, but nothing happens.  Nothing appears to hang, but nothing 
happens.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla opens the app that that icon is tied to.  i.e. browser, mail ...
