Have you tried to delete the file "xul.mfl" in your mozilla Profile while
Mozilla is not running ?

Comment 2

[Julian Hall]

I've just searched my entire hard disk, and cannot find any files of that name.
 In fact, the only *.mfl files I have are in my system32\wbem directory and
appear to be part of Windows (one of them at least has been updated as part of a
service pack, according to the backups I have).

See the release notes for the Mozilla Profile path. One Directory is marked
hidden (application Data) and you must configure Explorer to show hidden Files
and directorys.

[Julian Hall]

OK; that fixed it.  I've kept the original in case it would be of any use in
debugging the issue?

Comment 5

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

thanks, this is already fixed :-)
BTW: the filename for Linux is "XUL.mfasl"

We would need this file if you used Mozilla 1.3b or later..
