325907 - Firefox 1.5.01 cannot fresh install on Windows 98SE (page fault error)

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Installer, defect)

Description

[sconte]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; H010818)
Build Identifier: N.A. because Firefox cannot even install, therefore I can't read build in Help/About

This Windows98SE machine never had Firefox installed on it before. 

After downloading Firefox 1.5.01 installer from the Mozilla Web site, I saved it on the hard drive. Then I started to install by double clicking on the saved installer. I immediately got a page fault error. 

Conclusion: firefox 1.5.01 cannot install right now on this otherwise perfectly functioning Windows 98SE laptp. 

Clue: RAM is maxed at 80 MB. Could RAM=80MB be too small ? 

Here is page fault message:

[e-mail]: works for me with Firefox 2.0.0.2. and Windows 98 
Do you have this Problem still with the latest Build/Release, like Firefox 2.0.0.2/1.5.0.10
