231092 - when the ebay-toolbar for the MS-Internet Explorer is installed, mozilla won't come up

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: Installer, defect)

Description

[stekulla]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

Until now, I used Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 with the ebay-toolbar
installed. After installation of Mozilla 1.6, the Mozilla browser started
automatically. After closing the browser, it couldn't be started any more (with
nearly 100% CPU usage in the background). The Mozilla Profile Manager crashed.
After complete deinstallation of the ebay-toolbar (and reinstallation of
Mozilla), Mozilla is running. Just closing the ebay-toolbar had no effect.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install ebay-toolbar with MS-Internet Explorer
2. Install Mozilla
3. Try to start the Mozilla browser

Actual Results:  
Mozilla hangs.

Expected Results:  
Coming up or
the installation program should give a warning, that the ebay-toolbar should be
deinstalled

does this happen with newer (1.7.6) builds of Mozilla?

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

i have noticed that on the forum there are several people that have a problem also
with trying to get the ebay toolbar to load. i downloaded the most recent version
of firefox and also the ebay toolbar and tryed to reload them it still did not
help. one person on the forum said to tell ebay about the problem which i a also 
done. Is it their problem and not yours. are the the one who have to design the
program to fit your product.
