306402 - firefox stops opening 4th or 5th time after re/installed (3d reinstallation in 4 days)

Status: VERIFIED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Richard E. Sherwin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; BCD2000; TheFreeDictionary.com; SV1)
Build Identifier: firefox wont open

I tried to reinstall it 4th time (in 4 days) today, it wouldnt uninstall old 
or reinstall new, before and after I removed old FIREFOX manually from PROGRAM 
FILES & DOCUMENTS&SETTINGS

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.try to open Firefox about 4th time after re/installing
2.try to reinstall (sometimes will, sometimes wont)
3.read your page as much as I could understand (which wasnt much) and tried to 
remove FIREFOX from old folders so it could reinstall clean.

Actual Results:  
Neither reinstalls, nor works (obviously, it's been removed).  So I use 
IE6...thank heavens for a backup...browser.

Expected Results:  
opened the 4th or 5th time...   This has only recently (last month or so) been 
happening, but Ive not installed any new programs that I can recall... nor has 
installation of other programs bothered Firefox previously.  I like FIREFOX 
but right now, it only works on my laptop.  My desktop is IE6.   So much for 
integration, I guess.

Which version of FF did you try to install? Some of the nightly builds can be
completely "dead", whereas the latest release (1.0.6) works fine for almost
everyone.  You could try asking at:

For some suggestions.

The bug is likely to be invalid, if you were using 1.0.6 at least.

-> incomplete

Richard, i close this report as invalid. Feel free to reopen this bug if you can reproduce this bugreport in a latest release/build.

Please see also comment #1 then and it would be great if you could provide more information to reproduce then.
