WFM - 2 hours old CVS based build - WinXP-Sp1.

Any 3rd party theme used ?

Clean install of Mozilla ?

I realized that almost all links (in Mozilla, Bugzilla etc. sites) had the same
error when checking properties (browser hang) so I re-installed Mozilla (without
un-installing it first). 

First time I launched the newly installed browser there was error: "Error
launching browser window: no XBL binding for browser" but after that it seems to
be working well. No link property hangs anymore. I guess this 'bug' was only in
my computer/installation..?

First Mozilla installation was clean and no 3rd party themes was used, just the
default modern theme.

Perhaps deleting xul.mfl helps

Reporter: if advice in comment #3 (deleting xul.mfl) kill your bug, so this is a
duplicate of bug 169777.

Thanks for your - quick - answer ;-)
