Sometimes when I start Firefox now, I get an error message, which says:

"The procedure entry point
?NS_NewGenericModule2@@YAIPAUnsModuleInfo@@PAPAVnsIModile@@@Z could not be
located in the
dynamic link library xpcom.dll."

I hit ok, it pops up again with the same message, I hit ok again, then Firefox
starts and runs fine.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.completely exit all instances of Firefox
2.Start up fire fox.


Actual Results:  
Occasionally, this will cause the error described earlier, and then Firefox will
start as normal.

Expected Results:  
Simply started up, without the error.

iirc, this is caused by the Calendar extension, or another binary extension that
depends on xpcom.dll.  Since we ship static builds, xpcom.dll is part of firefox.exe
