first load is slow, it could also be a config on your computer.

Comment 2

[Andrew]

oh, one last thing I forgot to add: did you uninstall the previous version?
Uninstall all FF and DPA browsers and install the latest stable build of Firefox

Comment 3

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

And why should he do that ? 
That's unnecessary !

Reporter:
Did you install in a clean directory or over an older build ?
Does it work in the safemode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?

I use at present the Firefox : Deep Park 2005-06-29-07-trunk version which I
install without problem.

I try to install "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050630 Firefox/1.0+" in a clean build.

It works well ...

Remove any old registry enteries and old directores.

I always install over the directory it was originally in. If it won't start,
uninstall and reinstall kaing sure you have the most recent version (new one
every day). Also, I would suggest downloading a nightly, not compiling your own
version. The trunks are constantly being updated, so those are the most "iffy"
of the versions out there.

I encountered this "hinderance" today when I downloaded 20050706 (I believe it
was that one, it never did start). Anyone else?

Issue corrected with release of DPa2 (20040707). Please update and try again,
otherwise this bug will be marked WORKSFORME.
