I have had the same problem running Windows XP Home using the following builds:
1.2.1
1.3 Alpha
Nightly build from 1/6/2003

However, I can't get the program to run even when I kill the process. I have to 
reload Mozilla.

Reporter, please close Mozilla, delete the xul.mfl file in your profile
directory, and restart Mozilla. Does that fix the problem?

If not, repeat the procedure, but this time delete the chrome.rdf file in the
chrome subdirectory. (This last one could change some of your preferences back
to defaults, forcing you to change them back.)

Andrew,

   Deleting xul.mfl solved the problem. Thanks for all your help.
