When starting Firefox 1.06 I get this message once or twice, and have to click
OK to clear it before Firefox loads:
The procedure entry point ??1nsCString@@UAE@XZ could not be located in the
dynamic link library xpcom.dll

I uninstalled Firefox 1.04 before installing ver. 1.06.  This happens every time
since the new install

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Double click the Firefox icon on the desktop
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
I get one or two screens that say:
The procedure entry point ??1nsCString@@UAE@XZ could not be located in the
dynamic link library xpcom.dll

Expected Results:  
Simply load the browser and display my home page (www.lustie.com) as did all
earlier versions of Firefox

Do a clean (un)install and try again in safe-mode. Does that work? What for
plugins and extensions do you use?
