This looks like another javascript change has broken us.  Bhuvan won't be able
to look at this for a few days, can you find someone to examine the probable
javascript angle on this?

I can confirm this error on Win98...  I was going to try to switch over for
primary use (NOTE: try) but this mkaes it a little difficult.  Being that
following the "upgrade instructions" causes this error, I think it's one that
should be fixed ASAP!

build and Win also.

Todays mac build had the same problem this bug was logged for (Mac build
1999-11-30-08 M12). I could only login with a profile cretaed in another build.
Waiting for win build

i didn't have a previous build of Mozilla already on my system (NT), so another
side effect i saw with this bug is that the User50 dir was never created. found
this w/1999-11-29-09 m12.
