"Can't find start.mozilla.org" sounds that firefox started.
What Do you mean excatly with "doesn't start" ?
Nothing happens after you started Firefox.exe, a Firefox process is in the
background but no UI or Firefox can't connect to any site ?
Or Do you mean that you can't install it (because you created this bug in the
installer component) ?

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

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that

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

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.
