Mozilla always crashs when "Advanced" button of "Address Book" window is clicked.
This problem also occurs on 2003-10-22 trunk nightly build.

Similar problem to Bug 220126?

Crash on "Address Book"/"Advanced" still occurred on 2003102804-trunk/Win-Me
when I used my current profile(current account/abook).
Talkback ID: TB24980326K

No problem with newly created profile(new account/new abook).
What is wrong with my profile/account/abook?

Crash occured only when "Dsable XUL cache" was checked in　
Preference/Debug/Networking/Cache.
Crash disappeared when I unchecked "Dsable XUL cache" and restarted
Mail&News(Not restart of Navigator only). 

Summary was changed to indicate "Dsable XUL cache" related crash.

Reproduced with 2003110105-trunk/Linux.

Dialog on crash says module is js3250.dll.
Bug 215897 is prbably same bug for Thunderbird.

Change summary(add "js3250.dll") for ease of search.

Let's also remind bug 159364 comment 4:
{
The ability to disable the "xul cache" is de facto unmaintained and untested.
}
(I hate crashes too, but it's better to know this :-<)

Serge, thanks for your comment.
I had tested XUL cache related problem and had disabled "xul cache" but I forgot
to put it back to "enable" and have come across this bug.
I know "disable xul cache" is debugging purpose only and I can accept "WONTFIX"
for this bug. 

However, Thunderbird seems to has nglayout.debug.disable_xul_cache="true" as
internal value and this is probably the cause of Bug 215897.
Serge, please add comment to Bug 215897.

Re comment 7:

Bug 159364, on 'disable_xul_cache' issues:
'jrgm' said theses were really low priority (read "future/never");
but he did not 'WontFix' either.
(I don't know what his position is nowadays.)

Bug 215897, is a ThunderBird one:
I have some knowledge on Mozilla suite only:
I seldom do a little bug "triage/management"(!?) on other products too,
but I can't usefully comment on their bugs.

Comment 9

[WADA:World Anti-bad-Duping Agency]

Removed bug 159364 from "depends on" according to suggestion by Serge :
"FastLoad != Cache"

Comment 10

[Mark Banner (:standard8)]

This WFM on Linux with today's trunk build, though the layout is a totally
different matter. Do you still see this problem on windows?

WORKSFORME too on Mozilla Suite trunk 2005052005(Win-2K).
XUL.mfl file was not created even when XUL cache is enabled("Disable XUL cache"
is OFF).
XUL.mfl seems to be not used any more.

Closing as WORKSFORME.
