Actual Results:  
I get a windows error message that the program accessed memory 0xffffffff and

I am now not even able to uninstall the Calendar Project :(

this happens to me as well... however, it happens when i added a new calendar
which was the default calendar of mozilla sunbird (trying to synchronize
calendars between Thunderbird, Firefox and Sunbird)

Reporter(s), is this issue up-to-date still?

I am experiencing something like this as well.
- When trying to use the calendar application with Firefox Preview release:
1. I install the calendar application.
2. Exit Firefox
3. Restart Firefox.
4. At this point the calendar opens fine, and finds my old calendar file.  [I
was using the calendar fine with earlier versions of Firefox.]
5. I can open and close the calendar application fine until I close Firefox.
6. If I close Firefox, then restart it, and try to open the calendar file, it
won't open right.  It doesn't load my calendar file.  The calendar is displayed
with no months or dates showing at all.  Just blank sqaures.
7. When I close this "corrupted" calendar window, it crashes Firefox.
8. I can then uninstall the calendar and reinstall it.  It will then work fine,
until I close Firefox.

This happens ever time.

I am still using the calendar.  I really need it.  I just reinstall every
morning and try not to close Firefox completely for the whole day.

I hope this can be fixed.

This bug was not reproducible with FF 0.10 & Mozilla Calendar 2004091012 on Win
XP. Thanks for the fix. (I did not test the other crash issues mentioned in the
comments.)

The bugspam monkeys have been set free and are feeding on Calendar :: General. Be afraid for your sanity!
