309824 - Firefox can not be started with default profile

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[info665-s1]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915

Installed the new version 1.0.7. Started it OK and visited some sites. 
Suddenly it almost stopped responding. I clicked on links but nothing 
happened. History seemed to have been cleared because clicking on the arrow on 
the location bar didn't show anything. I think this happened after manually 
opening a popup and then closing it (automatically?). Then I can not start 
Firefox with default profile. It says it's already in use.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
See above.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_in_use for using your old profile again.

INVALID; Firefox version tested is too old, and details vague.
