Crash Data

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8

During startup Firefox crashes immediately after the display of the dialog
"firefox is not your default browser". (This dialog is strange, since Firefox
is, and has since long been, my default browser).

The crash does *not* occur if I start Firefox from the profile manager.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




Incident reports: TB112507Z, TB112428Y, TB112412H

I have installed Firefox 0.9 in a different directory from 0.8, the profile was
automatically migrated during installation.
Please ignore this remark:

  "The crash does *not* occur if I start Firefox from the profile manager."

Obviously, the profile manager icon in the program group "Mozilla Firefox" is an
artefact from 0.8 (does this deserve a bug report on its own, btw?).
After creating a new profile, Firefox no longer crashes during startup.

Changing component to "startup and profile system" (which I should have used
from the beginning... )
Component: General → Startup and Profile System
Sorry for being so chatty, but this pice of info is likely to be of interest:

I had *no* extentions installed with 0.8.
Migration problem but it probably remain unknown without talkback crash data.
Again:

Incident reports: TB112507Z, TB112428Y, TB112412H
I don't think this is a migration problem.  I encountered the same crash when 
installing on a windows 2000 machine with no previous installation of either 
Mozilla or Firefox and I selected "no migration" from the install wizard--I 
didn't even migrate preferences from IE.
I don't have a "Profile Manager" icon in my start menu.  However, I do have 
a "Firefox (Safe Mode)" shortcut.  I ran that and Firefox hasn't crashed since, 
even when starting in dangerous mode.  This is consistent with Karl's findings.

By the way, I was able to install Firefox and run it fine on a Windows XP 
machine (where I imported preferences from Mozilla).
