612868 - Firefox 3.6.12 refuses to start after I install the GWT developer plugin or the ColorZilla plugin

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Lucian Pacurar]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_5; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.12 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/9.0.572.1 Safari/534.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.12) Gecko/20101026 Firefox/3.6.12

Everytime I install the GWT developer plugin or ColorZilla on a clean fresh Firefox 3.6.12 installation, the browser refuses to start. With "clean, fresh" I meant to say I previously uninstalled Firefox using AppCleaner so it erased all my profiles.

These are the only two plugins I'm experiencing this behavior with. The first time I encountered this was when I installed ColorZilla a few months ago. So I contacted Alex Sirota ([e-mail]), the plugin developer, but after we exchanged some emails I stumbled upon this link: https://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?comments_offset=20&comments_threadId=0&comments_parentId=588227&comments_threshold=0&thread_sort_mode=commentDate_asc&forumId=1&time_control=3600

I ignored this for a while but now I'm really in need of the GWT developer plugin to work.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firefox 3.6.12.
2. Install the GWT dev plugin: https://dl-ssl.google.com/gwt/plugins/firefox/gwt-dev-plugin.xpi
3. Restart
4. Observe
Actual Results:  
Firefox won't start.

Expected Results:  
Firefox should start.
