User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050331 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; de-DE; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050331 Firefox/1.0.2

If the green update icon in the menu-bar appears, firefox doesn't load a page
which I either enter in the adress-field or which I start by a bookmark.

If I restart the browser, the green update icon disappear and all is ok.

Furtunately, the green update icon appears only sometimes, but it is still a bug.

I've already disabled Software-updates in options. I've no extensions.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. the green update icon appears
2. typing a url or selecting a bookmark
3. firefox doesn't load the page

I've seen something similar in Firefox 1.0.3 (on Windows XP), however I do have
extensions.  When I click the green update arrow, it fails to update my FURL
toolbar extension.  The only way I can use Firefox is to remove the FURL
extension, however even then, Firefox is still a bit flaky.  The problem is
definitely reproducible, however it seems to appear randomly.

In case it's relevant, the full list of my extensions is:
Tabbrowser 1.2.4
Wikalong 0.12
Tab X 0.5
LiveLines 0.3.3
Bloglines Toolkit 1.5.6
Foxytunes 1.1
UserAgent Switcher 0.6.5
Dictionary Search 0.9.2
Linky 2.6.0
Furl Tools 0.6
Bookmark backup 0.3.3

I didn't have any problems until Friday 22nd April 05, so I assume it's related
to an update?

Closing out bugs in the old style updater, which are superseded by the new system
in 1.5.
