Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 169777

(SeaMonkey :: Composer, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

I have used Mozilla Composer for about 2 years now to edit websites, and I had
no problems.  Now, when I go to Window...Composer or Click the Composer icon on
the bottom of Mozilla, it freezes.  Why is this happening right now, when it
worked fine before?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Go to Window and click Composer
Then Mozilla freezes.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla freezes, and I have to do a three finger salute to terminate the program.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have launched Composer.

This isn't really a crash, just a lock up.  A very annoying lock up, since this
site I do is a school news program site (http://goodmorning3fires.com), and I
need to update it.

Please close Mozilla and delete the file "xul.mfl" in your Mozilla Profile.
(see the release notes for the profile path on your OS)
