User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126 I was running the 10.13.2002 build. It crashed whenever I deleted an item from download manager while downloading something else. It wsa suggested that I upgrade to the latest 1.2 version, which I did. That's when everything went to hell. First time: installed latest build over previous build, then deleted compreg.dat. Second time: uninstalled mozilla, reinstalled mozilla 1.2 and deleted compreg.dat. Third time: uninstalled mozilla, deleted all folders, reinstalled mozilla 1.2. Fourth time: uninstalled mozilla, deleted all folders, deleted all registry entries (that I could find), rebooted, installed mozilla 1.2 Last two times, I used the build that was released on the 26th or 27th of November. No build ID exists in the title bar. errors: 1. Bookmarks don't load in side pane, but do on main menu. 2. unable to launch any part of Mozilla from tray icon, can only start navigator from desktop, when tray icon is closed. 3. if I close the main window, I have to go to Task Manager, manually shut down Mozilla, then restart it from the desktop in order to get a navigator window up again. 4. unable to launch any other portions of Mozilla from the Window menu. 5. Window menu shows blank entries (one for each item that I clicked on above the divider), click on one, nothing happens. Curious thing, even with deleting all the stuff, my bookmarks, passwords & stuff are still there. I would have thought that they would be gone when I performed the fourth re-installation. I don't want to go back to IE, please, help!! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: See above.
I've just installed Netscape 7, and it is working just fine. Bookmarks are in the sidebar, I can open all the various parts of Netscape, Mail, Composer, etc.
Harald : Please try this : uninstall Mozilla, delete the whole c:\program..}Mozilla.org folder [Except plugin subfolder]. If that doesn't work : run "Mozilla -profilemanager" and create an ADDITIONAL TEST profile
Harald, does uninstalling Mozilla or creating a new profile solve this problem?
I tried deleting everything right away, and it didn't work. I did not try creating a new profile, and considering that Netscape 7 is working fine, including all bookmarks, etc, I really don't want to install Mozilla again and have it screw up Netscape. Besides, nobody has fixed the double-posting problem that exists in Mozilla yet, so what's the point? I need a browser that works all the time, not one that works when it wants to. When Mozilla no longer goes tits up on installing over an old version, then I'll try it again.
_>WFM Please reopen if you decide to give Mozilla another try and the problem is still there.
