298073 - crash using 802.11g wireless adapters with Win 98

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[ronh]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

I recently tried to use two different 802.11g adapters with Firefox (USB and
PCMCIA, D-Link and Corega brands). Both work fine with IE and Outlook. But
Firefox crashes on startup, resulting in the blue screen: "A fatal exception has
occurred at 0000:0000001B. The current application will be terminated." etc.

Here's the rest of the system specs: IBM Thinkpad 1452i, Windows 98SE, D-Link
DI-514 wireless hub, D-Link DWL-G122 USB wireless adapter, Corega WLCB54GL
CardBus adapter (PCMCIA).

I posted this problem to a Mozillazine support forum and received no answers.
However, someone else seems to have the same problem and posted it in the thread
I started. Here's the thread: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=240499

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
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.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
