If you have N6PR1 installed and Mozilla, Mozilla's sidebar will try to open and
load AOL's IM Buddy list.  This looks like a conflict between Netscape and
Mozilla, so I'm not sure whos problem it is.  Or if there are plans to put
instant messanger in Mozilla, the buddy list never loads.
I'm kinda lost here.  reporter: can you be more specific as to what the problem 
is?
What OS? What Mozilla Build? More details please! Is Mozilla and 6.0 open 
concurrently?
Win98, build 200052808, and this bug occurs if i have n6pr1 running or not.  N6
and Mozilla must be sharing a file about "My sidebar" since Mozilla is trying to
load "Buddy List"  This probably does not occur on computers running only Mozilla.

This is caused because mozilla and netscape6 use the same profile.
Reassigning 50 Sidebar bugs to Matt.  I was told this was going to be done 
shortly about two months ago, but it clearly hasn't been.  I think that's long 
enough for all these bugs to remain assigned to nobody.

The buddy list will never load. The panels.rdf entry points to a non-existent
chrome file:

<RDF:Description about="urn:sidebar:panel:im-panel">
<NC:title>Buddy List</NC:title>
<NC:content>chrome://aim/content/SidebarPanel.xul</NC:content>

Probably what is needed is better error handling in sidebar, which is actually
another bug...

Has anyone thought of having Mozilla and Netscape >6.1 use different profiles?
Doesn't this seem the logical choice? I, too, have installed Netscape 6.1 (and
since uninstalled because of (in)stability issues it seemed to bring up) and
Mozilla 0.9.4 and the Buddy List panel is on my sidebar, but never loads. It
would be a nice feature, though, imo. I also think it would do away w/ other
problems caused by the two *completely separate* browsers sharing the same
profile. (Was the profile sharing done to cut programming time? It doesn't make
much sense to me, but that's my .02)
reassigning matt's old bugs.

-> INVALID

Don't share the same profile for Netscape and Mozilla. This is
documented in release notes for both Netscape 7.x and Mozilla.
