290384 - conflict in dual boot Fedora 3 (+(older) Firefox/Windows XP Firefox 1.0.2

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard Rowe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

Using Sunbird calendar 0.2 in Windows XP
On rebooting to Fedora and using Firefox there (necessary process debugging
mySQL based website to run under Linux) then rebooting to Windows XP the Sunbird
functionality disappears and I get a M$ message that Firefox has failed and do I
want to report this to MicroSoft.
Restarting Firefox and reinstalling Sunbird from the download area clears the
problem.
I cannot understand how information can be transmitted between the separate OS.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Run Sunbird 0.2 in Firefox 1.0.2. Restart as many times as you want
2.restart machine switching (GRUB) to Fedora 3 Linux (& using Firefox installed
there)
3.restart machine switching (GRUB) to Windows XP. Run Firefox tools/calendar

Actual Results:  
Sunbird doesn't run, Firefox exits with MS error message

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have started Sunbird, giving access to calendar

trivial in itself (who else is going to be doing this?) but may indicate a
deeper fault.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we

you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
