Description

[Winnie]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030629 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: mozilla 1.5a

I just updated to 1.5a, and after running it a few times, I see the following
message in an alert box every time I try to start the browser.

Error launching browser window:[Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80570018 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_IID) [nsIJSCID.createInstance]" nsresult:
"0x80570018" (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_IID)" location: "JS frame ::
chrome://navigator/content/navigator.js :: Startup :: line 451" data: no]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the browser.
2. Open it & close it until you see the message.

Actual Results:  
The program doesn't start... Instead I get the same message whenever I try to
launch it.

Expected Results:  
There should be a new browser window.
