255203 - No Disk In Drive D:

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 153377

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[jay garcia]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a3) Gecko/20040807
Firefox/0.9.1+

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox closed.
Perform any operation with the DVD Reader/Burner in Drive D:, doesn't matter,
play movie, burn DVD, whatever.

Close session, eject DVD.

Start Firefox, bring up any web site.

Alert dialog pops up "No disk in drive D: - Cancel - Retry - Continue"

Clicking on "Continue or Cancel" will allow the web site to come up as usual.

Only way to eliminate the dialog is to reboot.

Task Manager shows only FireFox running and there are no processes running
related to the DVD reader/burner in drive D:

IE is the only other browser on this machine and it doesn't happen there.

I might add that simply logging off and re-logging back in rather than a cold
boot eliminates the error.

Did you look at these files in a texteditor (!) and looked for URLs/target
directories?
downloads.rdf: look for target locations on "D:\"
bookmarks.html: look for file:/// URLs which point to D like file:///D:/ or
file:///D|/

If this don't help you could try the FileMon tool to see which file FF wants to
load from D: if no media is in it.

Yes, after posting this on the Mozillazine forum where someone else mentioned
the same thing, I opened both files and there are no entries for either.
