can you close mozilla and rename the file "xul.mfl" in your mozilla user Profile ?
That did the trick.  Sorry to take up your time for such a simple fix.

Indeed I do; I simply renamed the original file and a new one was created when
Moz was restarted...problem?
cool !

Can you please zip the file and send it to jrgm@netscape.com ?
This file is a cache file for the Mozilla GUI and something is broken.
We try to find the cause for this corruption.

Thanks !

fixed is wrong because nothing changed in the Mozilla source. Would be

I am having this problem. How do I get to the file "xul.mfl" to change the name? Should that fix still work? I see this was a problem posted a long time ago
This is unlikely to be the same problem (or at least the same cause).
