197167 - Moz crashes on startup. Fixed by replacing Mozilla.app

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Lincoln Ramsay]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20030306 Camino/0.7

Often, Moz crashes and it causes Moz to crash at startup until the Mozilla.app
bundle is replaced. I have possibly seen similar behaviour once on W2k but this
happens frequently on Mac OS X 10.1.5. Camino 0.7 has inherited this bug (it
didn't use to have it). I'm raising a separate bug for Camino since it's
releases are handled differently.

This is NOT the XUL cache problem. I removed that file and the crashes
continued. I can only conclude that there is a file that is modified inside the
Mozilla.app bundle. This is not what applications are supposed to do!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make Moz crash a certain way (waking from sleep and using Moz seems good at
doign this)
2. Startup Moz

Actual Results:  
Moz crashes on startup.

Expected Results:  
Moz should startup nicely.

Lincoln,

You reported this bug over a year ago... do you still find this behavior?

I saw this bug on a machine I no longer have and running an operating system that is 2 major 
versions older than what I run now... I doubt I could reproduce this if I wanted to. Feel free to 
close it.

Lincoln,
Thanks for the speedy reply... I will mark this as WFM since you no longer
experience the issues noted above...
