379595 - Cannot launch Firefox with taskManager showing Rundll32 [not responding] on installing 2.0.0.3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Dennis Thorley]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-GB; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061204 Firefox/2.0.0.1

Every few days Firefox 2.0.0.3 is automatically installed when I go on line. When the installation is complete I try to launch Firefox and it just hangs up.

Doing Ctrl Alt Delete to bring up Task Manager shows Rundll32 [Not responding].

To recover I have to reinstall 2.0.0.1 and carry on OK for a few more days.

I am on Windows98 using Zone Alarm as my Firewall.

Can you help.

Dennis Thorley

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. System decides I need to update to 2.0.0.3 which I now delay until next reload.
2. Next reload I cannot prevent 2.0.0.3 attempting to reload which always results in the above.
3. I reload and then re-install 2.0.0.1 until a few days later the cycle repeats.
Actual Results:  
Cannot launch Firefox browser and rundll32 [Not responding]

Without any changes at my end 2.0.0.3 loaded without any problems today (12/5/07).

Therefore I am happy to have the bug closed.
