That happens because there are incompatibilities in the profile formats between
Netscape 6 and the latest Mozilla releases. The only solution is to create a new
profile specifically for Mozilla. To do that, launch "mozilla -profilemanager"
from the dos prompt and click on "manager profiles" then "create profile". Then
launch Mozilla with this new profile. You will not be able to use your Netscape
6 profile with mozilla0.7+.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

Marking INVALID due to the fact there is nothing we can do about this problem.
