correct the issue.

Are there any errors in the JS console?

Comment 2

[Jamie Forrester]

Sorry didn't know those where there
In the JS console I get 

Error: this.linkChecker.asyncCheckURI is not a function
Source File: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaUtils.js
Line: 430

In the Java Console I get 

Feb 19, 2004 11:11:29 PM java.util.prefs.FileSystemPreferences syncWorld
WARNING: Couldn't flush system prefs: java.util.prefs.BackingStoreException:
Couldn't get file lock.

this is the only error in js console? it doesn't say anything about
this.linkChecker.init?

[Jamie Forrester]

Nope that was the only message in JS console.

Well last night I updated everything on my system with emerge -up world and
mozilla 1.6-r1  Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040219
was installed.   Since that time the bug has gone away. I'll try to see if I can
get it to come back tonight sometime.

Mmm... gentoo... they've had some issues with their mozilla packages in the past
(library paths set wrong, etc.)

Reporter says WFM in comment 5, so resolving. I guess this was related to Bug
180672 or bug 160454.
