Your bug is invalid, because it is related to some extensions you used.

See this in release notes
(http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.4/README.html#new-issues)

"    * If you are experiencing crashes on startup in xpcom.dll it is very likely
that there is an incompatibility with some third-party extension. To work around
this problem, uninstall your previous version of Mozilla, and completely delete
the Mozilla install directory before performing the new install. You will not
lose your profile data (such as bookmarks, preferences and cookies) but any
third party extensions and plugins may be lost."

Closing bug as invalid. Feel free to reopen it if you disagree.
