Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050321 Firefox/1.0.2

Setting "browser.frames.enabled" to false (in an attempt to simulate no-frames
browser) in about:config and then restarting Firefox leads to error dialog
saying "Error launching browser window: no XBL binding for browser". Browser
itself does not appear.

Occurs with clean profile. Does not occur in latest version of Mozilla, however
was apparently a bug for Mozilla at one stage:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107911, now fixed.

1. Set "browser.frames.enabled" to false in about:config
2. Close Firefox
3. Start Firefox

Actual Results:  
Error dialog appeared and browser window didn't.

Expected Results:  
Start Firefox browser window.

That fix will be available in Firefox 1.1, please ensure you check fixed bugs in
a nightly build not in a security release like 1.0.2, thanks.
