31071 - Machine crashes each time I launch it.

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Katie Scott]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.7 (Macintosh; U; PPC)
BuildID:    mozilla-mac-M14-FC

The Mozilla Browser I downloaded crashes each and every time I launch it.  All I 
get to is the pretty Mozilla picture with the fire-breathing dragon.  Nothing 
else happens - the machine is frozen and I have to push the reset button.  The 
release I downloaded is called Mozilla-mac-M14-FC.  I have a Mac G4/450.  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the Browser
2.
3.

Actual Results:  The pretty picture with the fire-breathing dragon appears in the 
center of my screen and nothing else happens - In fact nothing else can happen 
because the machine is frozen.

Expected Results:  It should have launched the browser and allowed me to start 
web surfing

I suppose this bug has already been reported since I'm sure I'm not the first G4 
Mozilla user.  Since both Netscape Communicator and Internet Explorer both work 
on this machine I have a hard time understanding how it's a problem with my 
machine in particular.

[e-mail] responded to my bug report concerning Mozilla crashing my 
Mac/G4 asking about the name of my hard drive.  

I'm not at my G4 - so I can't tell you the exact name of my hard drive.  I'm 
pretty sure that I haven't renamed it from its default - which is something like 
Macintosh HD.

Also, I can't seem to view Bug 31281 - Tells me I don't have permission.  (Yes, 
I am logged in.)  So, can't tell if it's pertinent or not.

your hard drive?

Comment 5

[Katie Scott]

My hard drive has the default name : "Macintosh HD".
I'd be happy to try a new build - just send me the pointer to the particulars.

reporter M14 is very old is this still occuring on current builds?

Comment 10

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

Marking WORKSFORME due to lack of input from reporter, and because Moz generally 
works on the Mac at the moment :-)
