Attachment: Screenshot

Prerequisites: 
Have candidate repository installed from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/4.0b4-candidates/repos/multi/
 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Install Fennec 1.1 from: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/1.1rc1-candidates/build3/maemo4/multi/.
2. Open fennec and do some browsing.
3. Check for updates in App manager, if there is no notification in Home screen.
3. Install Fennec 4.0b4.
4. Start Fennec.


Expected results:
Build from the following location is installed: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/candidates/4.0b4-candidates/build1/maemo5-gtk/multi/
On start, about:home opens. Previously visited/bookmarked pages are available.

Actual results:
Fennec 1.1 is updated to Fennec 4.0b4
Upon start, blank page is displayed (see screenshot) and nothing works until I delete the profile (in Xterminal I enter: rm -r ~/.mozilla/fennec) and restart browser.

Confirmed, I'm getting the same screenshot.

Mark asked for the profiles from Fennec1.1, Fennec2.0b4 running for the first time (corrupted profile), and finally Fennec2.0b4 after closing and restarting (then, suddenly, everything works fine).
I sent them by mail to him. If anyone else wants them, let me know.
