Description

[Harry Perry Stephens Jr]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; en-US; rv:1.8.0.3) Gecko/20060426 Firefox/1.5.0.3

This started when version 1.5.0.3 was installed. Firefox has been set as the default web browser. When starting firefox using a link, Firefox starts as if no extensions or themes are installed. The program also starts with the default settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on any link in an email or a link on the desktop and the webpage comes up with no features and the default theme.
2. Close firefox and reopen firefox, the extensions, themes & settings are loaded.
3. I can then reclick on the link to bring up the webpage.

Actual Results:  
Make sure firefox is not running at all, make it the default browser and start a weblink from the desktop (EX>www.toshiba.com).

Expected Results:  
The website opens in a new browser as if the updated program is installed in another folder.
