Error message as follows:  "Unable to locate component: Application has failed

Message reappears each time Mozilla is opened. Mozilla opens underneath error
message, and can be accessed.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
Error message above displays on desktop. I am, however, able to open Mozilla in

Expected Results:  
Once installation and restart were complete, Mozilla should have opened on
command, without the error message.

Moving to XPCOM, Doug any ideas. This sounds more like an installation issue.
