Description

[John Edds]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126

Launch browser.  Takes 10 seconds.  Then, attempt to open mail/news fails
(either via menu or quick launch).  Exit browser.  Launch mail/news.  Takes 10
seconds.  Then, attempt to open browser fails (either via menu or quick launch).
 Exit mail/news.  Lauch browser.  Takes 10 seconds.  Browser and mail/news
cannot be both lauched.  Problem surfaced after attempted upgrade from 1.2.0 to
1.2.1.  Problem not fixed with 1.3 uprade or 1.2.0 downgrade.  Problem persists
after reboot.  URLs in e-mails attempt to load browser but fail (no
notification, program just fails to load).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Lauch browser
2. Attempt to lauch mail/news
3. Must quick browser, then launch mail/news
4. Problem works in reverse, too (1. Lauch mail/news ...)

Actual Results:  
Cannot have both portions of application suite lauched at same time.

Expected Results:  
I'd like to have my mail/news open and also be able to browse the Internet.

Nothing unusual.  Problem surfaced only after upgrade from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1, and
will not go away with attempts to up/downgrade application.

Reporter:
Close mozilla including quicklaunch, locate your mozilla user profile in your OS
user directory (see the release notes for the path) and delete all files in:
profile\chrome\*.* 
YOu will loose all additional installed Themes

got mail, it works now.

This is a bug and you can only avoid it if you don't install additional
third-party Themes :-)

currently : no new windows -> delete Chrome\*.* , freeze if opening mail or the
preferences -> delete xul.mfl :-)
