267773 - Firefox gets stuck in startup, unresponsive

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Marko Poutiainen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Unable to provide (see error). 

FireFox does not start anymore.

I have used FireFox 1.0PR for quite some time. Yesterday it stopped working. 
It sort of starts, but is unresponsive, menus do not open (except for the 
context sensitive one on tabs) and keypresses (like ctrl+t) do nothing. I 
can't activate the address bar. So effectively, FF can't be used.

I tried installing FireFox to a new directory, but it did not help.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start FireFox.


Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:  
Start up normally.

Search bar menu opens up in the wrong place.

I can't test with the default theme, because I can't access the themes setup.

that's most probably a broken profile. create a new one
<http://mozilla.org/support/firefox/profile>. Why it is broken, I don't know,
but unless you can point the reason, this is a support question and should be
asked on forums (<http://forums.mozillazine.org/>). If you can provide any
specific information as to why this happens, please reopen.

(for the record the bug above was mis-duped and is now duped correctly)
