254512 - latest 1.7.2 download missing core functionality on install

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[u119584]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803

Newest Mozilla 1.7.2 Application Suite download majorly broken on install.

Have tried uninstalling previous version and installing new build afresh, but
when Mozilla loads after install, half the interface is missing: an empty
menubar, navigation bar no working, no bookmarks, nothing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Perform fresh install using latest Win32 installer
(mozilla-win32-1.7.2-installer.exe)
2. Leave to simmer while Mozilla installs.
3. Open a browser window.

Actual Results:  
Browser unusable.

Expected Results:  
A wonderfully usable, fast, standards-compliant browser.

Mozilla appears to be half accessing my old profile, even though it should have
set up a new profile and a different salt. No bookmarks or anything are present,
but the Orbit 3+1 theme is still active.

Does it work if you create a new profile? Any extension in your old profile? Did
you uninstall your old version (which one?) before?

Having removed all traces of previous Mozilla install (1.7.1) - including my
profile - 1.7.2 installed without a problem. Gone through manual profile
reinstall and seems stable. Thanks for help.

Doesn't seem like anyone else is getting this problem, so guess it's down to
user error? 8-|
