Details

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040719 Firefox/0.9.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

In Windows 95, Firefox 0.9.2 crashes immediately after launching. (It installs
successfully, but it cannot be run.) The Windows error message is:

FIREFOX caused an invalid page fault in module FIREFOX.EXE at 0137:0086405f.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find a Windows 95 computer
2. Install Firefox 0.9.2
3. Run Firefox 0.9.2
Actual Results:  
Firefox crashes immediately

Expected Results:  
It should not crash (esp. because Firefox 0.9 does not crash)

NOTE: Firefox 0.9 launches successfully and does not crash (but probably only
after IE5.5 is installed, since that was how Firefox 0.8 behaved). However,
Firefox 0.9.2 crashes even if Firefox 0.9 runs fine on the same machine.

I have tried this on 2 different Win95 boxes; Firefox 0.9.2 (but not 0.9)
crashes on both.

The User-Agent string is, quite logically, not copied from the About box
(because this is a crash on launch, so it's not possible to copy it); I tried to
reconstruct it by looking at the User-Agent string of Firefox 0.9 running on
Win95 and that of Firefox 0.9.2 running on Win2000.

The "Details" from the Windows error window is as follows:

FIREFOX caused an invalid page fault in
module FIREFOX.EXE at 0137:0086405f.
