188590 - Mozilla hangs on splash screen.

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 144027

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Build Identifier: Don't know thing won't run (1.3a dloaded today)

Hi,

I searched bugzilla as I was having problems with Mozilla hanging @ startup on 
the splash screen. One of the comments was to rename and zip this file for 
checking. I did what was recommended. I renamed compreg.dat. Then renamed this 
xul.mfl file and Mozilla started normally. This problem began after I updated 
to 1.2a (the one that fixed the DHTML OOPS). Well, wait a minute, I just 
closed and restarted Mozilla and same as before NO GO. Whatever this file is 
doing it recreates itself after one use.

System 
P4 2.4
Windows XP Pro

Hope this helps

Reproducible: Always

1.Start Mozilla (or try to)

You are probably using an outdated theme, delete the file chrome.rdf inside the
chrome folder in your profile.
Then may be dupe of bug 144027.

Deleting the chrome.rdf worked. Does this mean that deleting the other files 
(xul.mlf and compreg.dat) is unnecessary?

Comment 3

deleting compreg.dat is unnecessary as bug 171441 if fixed. Deleting XUL.mfl
sometimes help as it can get corrupted: bug 169777.
