I can confirm this with a new profile and this build (newly downloaded):
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031218 Firebird/0.7+

Seems to be for branch builds only because it works for me on this trunk build:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20031216 Firebird/0.7+

Confirming after a VNC session to an NT4 box, using whatever was in
/nightly/latest-0.8 approx 10 mins ago ('1218 build).

Additional testing from #firebird seems to indicate that this only appears on
the 0.8 branch, not the trunk.

How does this count as a regression?

Comment 10

[Zibi Braniecki [:zbraniecki][:gandalf]]

Previously it didn't crash

.

Comment 12

[alanjstr]

This happens if I install a theme and then an extension.

Comment 13

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

Fixed.

Comment 14

[Jesse Ruderman]

[e-mail] says this caused a regression, bug 229600, "Installing
2 extensions without restarting re-launches extension-installer for previous
installed extensions".

Reopening

People on Linux have seen this crash in the latest branch build (including myself)

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6b) Gecko/20040109 Firebird/0.7+

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040107 Firebird/0.8.0+
(daihard: XFT+GTK2; optimized for P4/SSE-2)

This is not my current build, but I installed eight extensions in a row and did
not get it to crash. I'm now on the 20040110 build, and installing one extension
does not trigger the bug.

(daihard: XFT+GTK2; optimized for P4/SSE-2)

The build mentioned above is not my current build, but when using this build I
installed seven or eight extensions in a row and did not experience any crashes. 

On this build:

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040110 Firebird/0.8.0+
(daihard: XFT+GTK2; optimized for P4/SSE-2)

I installed one extension and did not experience a crash, so the nature of the
bug has not changed.

Comment 18

[Sean Umphlet (nosebleed)]

Bradley, you are using a trunk build.
The crash is occuring on branch builds only.

Comment 19

[Bradley Chapman (not reading bugmail, still gone but not forever)]

Thanks for the info, nosebleed - it's hard to tell the builds apart.

At least I showed that the bug is only found on branch builds, so I still helped ;)

[Ben Goodger (use ben at mozilla dot org for email)]

Yeah I think I fixed this today.

alanjstr: Setting +blocking is reserved for drivers.

Comment 22

[alanjstr]

I set that because Ben set the milestone to 0.8

Comment 23

[Bradley Chapman (not reading bugmail, still gone but not forever)]

OT: Is there a place where the behaviors expected of bug reporters and bug
posters are clearly defined, and the list of controls that both groups can
manipulate (and how) are easily defined? Sorry for OT bugspam.

Pre-release cleanup
