After installing Firebird on Win XP:  When it first starts it tries to open
mozilla.org and then stops responding.  
I also tried opening a dial-up connection before starting Firebird, but then got
the same problem.
I have Firebird loaded on a similar computer at home that has a direct DSL
connection and it worked fine out of the box.
A similar problem occurred with Mozilla, but it gave an error and allowed me to
open "preferences".  After setting the proxy address, Mozilla worked fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start Firebird
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The status bar showed "resolving mozilla.org" and then it stopped responding.

Expected Results:  
Loaded the web page or give an error and allowed me to open "preferences"

I don't get any error message until I shut it down with Task Manager.

if you are using 0.6.1, there is a known bug where firebird tries to import IE
favorite and freezes. A temporary workaround is to rename your favorite folder,
or find the favorite that causes trouble, according to some reports it can be a
favorite that's pointing to a file on local computer.

duping against 205129, please reopen if upgrading to a current nightly does not
resolve your issue
