User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6 Build Identifier: http://www.download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.5b1&os=win&lang=en-US Installed v1.5 over my previous install of v1. Everything worked fine, but I wanted different tab handling, so went back to V1. Uninstalled using WinXp uninstaller and downloaded V1. After install, won't launch at all. Just a quick hourglass, then nothing. Machine shows no Firefox processes running. Tried multiple uninstall and re-installs and re-boots. Nothing. had to so back using a system restore point. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install V1.5 over V1 2. Uninstall it from control panel 3. Reinstall V1 Actual Results: As described in details.
Have you used a new profile, and did you delete all of the Mozilla Firefox directory? This is going to be a one-off issue, not a bug, I suspect. Please consider using the forum: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewforum.php?f=38
I came here to report what is probably the same bug, 1.07 will not work if re-installed after 1.5 is un-installed. In my case, 1.07 opens the page, even displays the title, but will not render the page. Reinstall 1.5 and it works, uninstall 1.5, re-install 1.07 same effect. Deleted Firefox folder between installs. Interesting note is that when reinstalling it still mocks me that neither the RSS reader nor Google Toolbar will work on 1.5. (the reason I uninstalled 1.5). Also all extensions are still installed, even though I had deleted the extensions folder. Extensions loaded: Dom Inspector 1.8, Talkback 1.5, IE View 1.2.7, SpellBound 0.7.3, Wizz RSS News Reader (disabled by Firefox), Web Developer 0.9.4, Google Toolbar for Firefox 1.0.20051012 (disabled by Firefox), Growe Search Toolbar 1.2.3
Version: unspecified → 1.5.0.x Branch
Reporter, do you still see this problem with the latest Firefox 2? If not, can you please close this bug as WORKSFORME. Thanks!
