212423 - Tabbed browser window was open, closed it, and then multiple windows kept popping up till I killed the process. Mozilla no longer starts up.

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Robi Brunner]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT 5.0)
Build Identifier: http://www.mozilla.org/releases/#1.4

Was reading some sites using Mozilla's tabs.  Used Alt-F4 to close Mozilla 
(with numerous tabs still open).  The window closed fine, but then I began to 
get a constant generation of maybe 500 x 500px size blank windows starting in 
the upper left corner.  It continued to keep generating more and more windows 
and I could not stop it so I had to go to the TaskManager to kill the mozilla 
process.  Since then, Mozilla no longer loads up.  Rebooted and still doesnt 
load up.  It breifly flashes the Startup screen (orange Mozilla logo) and then 
dies.  No process in the taskmanager.  I've loaded this set of pages up 
numerous times before (they are my home page group of tabs) with different 
versions of Mozilla and have never had this problem before (using the same 
close procedures listed above).  I dont remeber adding any new features to Moz 
that was not already present on the previous versions I have tries (including 
themes (Orb3+1)).
