377221 - Camino (as well as Firefox) hangs upon startup.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[Matt W.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/419 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/419.3
Build Identifier: Version 2007022813 (1.0.4)

After reloading my computer as well as many third party programs (possibly including some plugins), neither Camino nor Firefox will open correctly.  Camino will open after approximately 1 minute; Firefox won't open at all.  I have moved aside the \Library\Internet Plugins folder; I have cleared the cache folders; I have removed the preference files, allowing it to recreate new ones; and have attempted any and all other troubleshooting steps given for both Firefox and Camino.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open Camino (or Firefox).
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Camino opens after a minute; Firefox not at all.

Expected Results:  
Should have opened in approximately 3 to 6 seconds.

This is highly unlikely to be a bug in Camino if it affects Firefox as well.

I would tend to agree; however, the same statement could be made had I posted this under Firefox; and any and all Firefox/Camino troubleshooting methods and tips have failed thus far.  I will gladly do whatever is needed to 'file' an issue in the correct place; I just want the issue fixed.  I appreciate any and all assistance I may receive.

Well, my larger point was that this is unlikely to be a bug in either product, and much more likely to be a problem specific to your computer. As Bugzilla is not intended to be a troubleshooting forum, and the tech support forums at Mozillazine *are* intended as such, please utilise them as you see fit to figure out the root cause.

Closing this as invalid; if it is found that there truly is a bug here, it can be filed when it's discovered, along with more information on how to reproduce it.
