User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I have first installed 1.2.0 over 1.1 and it worked fine and then I installed
1.2.1 over it and then my mozilla acts strange ;(

It doesn't want to open new windows ;( ... that is realy bad, because I can't
send new mails (that is new window too) or even open mail window when the
browser window is open first ....

If I open the mail window first, then I can read mail, but I can not do anything
else ... the numners in the Menu/window do apera, but the window is not there ...

So I have unistalled it and tried again, it didn't work and I installed 1.1 over
it ... the same problem continues ;(

Then 1.2.1 over it , nothing works ...

I need my mozilla and the data in my contacts (I can't export it (that is a new
window too ;( ) ... I use Phoenix for browsing now (nice too), but I miss my
mail client and my bookmarks ....

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open mozilla browser
2.Click on the mail icon
3. The mail window doesn't apear ?? only the number in the Menu/window apears
and I can't do nothing with it (can not switch to that window - the name of the
window is not written, only the numner is there) ...

Actual Results:  
No new windows

Expected Results:  
Gimme new windows ;)

Reporter:
Please close mozilla (inclusind quicklaunch) and find your Mozilla-User Profile
(located in your OS user directory).
delete all file in profile/Chrome/*.* (you will loose additional Themes)

after that restart mozilla.
If you still get the problem delete this files:
profile/xul.mfl
c:\programs..\mozilla.org\mozilla\components\compreg.dat

if it works tell me which step solved the problem.
