282436 - Firefox doesn't render pages after unistall and re-installing

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[Padma Bhooma]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0

I had Firefox 0.9.2 before. I recently tried to upgrade to version 1.0. While 
doing so I just downloaded and installed it over the previous version. This 
created 3 shortcuts on my desktop (which is a known bug in the database). I 
then uninstalled firefox using Windows "add or remove programs" interface. 
While uninstalling I got a msg like "All components are not found, do you want 
to delete C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox" directory. I said "yes" and 
uninstall was completed. Then I installed Firefox 1.0. Installation went 
smoothly. When I tried to start the browser, the window will be opened but it 
will not render any pages. Some of the pages I tried are "google.com" 
and "yahoo.com". The status bar says "done" but the page is not shown. There 
are no connectivity/network problems as I am able to access these pages at the 
same time using IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Firefox 1.0
2. Uninstall using Windows "Add or remove programs". During this 
delete "C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox" directory.
3. Re-install Firfox 1.0. Choose standard installation
4. Start the browser and access "www.google.com"

Actual Results:  
The page is not rendered. The window stays blank and status bar says "Done". 
Also tried with "yahoo.com"

Expected Results:  
It should have shown the page.

Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!

I would really like to mark this bug EXPIRED, but since I can't I will mark it WORKSFORME.
