User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030401 If I leave Mozilla running and the broadband connection open, and leave the machine for over eight hours, Mozilla will sometimes crash when I try to read mail on returning. This crash locks up Win XP, and I have to reset the computer. After reset, (a) the "collected addresses" folder has disappeared; (b) the mail filters don't work; (c) e-mail addresses in the headers of incoming messages don't display as clickable links (and aren't underlined). Those addresses can't be copied or pasted. The fix (I found after long experimentation) is to close Mozilla, start Netscape 7.02, close Netscape 7.02, open Mozilla. That fixes the links problem (c); the filters return (b) but are all turned off - they can't be turned on with the "Tools - Filters - Edit" routine, but double-clicking each filter in turn resets it. A new collected addresses list appears, but is blank (a). It starts again collecting addresses from scratch. I've lost a few addresses that I should have moved to one of my own address books that way! Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: I have to leave the machine on, connected, and idle for 8 to 10 hours, and even then it doesn't always crash when I return. It's done this three times since I installed 1.4a - it never did it prior to 1.4a.
Could you provide talkback incident ID of crash?
