Details

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win95; en-US; 0.8.1) BuildID: 2001041104 (+ every build since 0.6) Since PSM is part of the distribution, I am unable to start it up. It always crashes as soon as I press the lock button at the bottom (or connect to a secure site). I expect that this problem might be something specific to my configuration, but I have no idea what i could be (a missing or ancient library?). BTW, all Linux versions run fine on the same computer. I also cannot use proxy servers (neither manually configured nor automatic). Could this be a related problem? The crash info: PSM caused an invalid page fault in module NSPR4.DLL at 0157:60d7299d. Registers: EAX=00000000 CS=0157 EIP=60d7299d EFLGS=00010202 EBX=010cff48 SS=015f ESP=010cfeec EBP=00000000 ECX=010cff48 DS=015f ESI=00000000 FS=5267 EDX=00000000 ES=015f EDI=00000008 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 08 52 8b 54 24 14 52 8b 54 24 14 52 50 ff 51 Stack dump: ffffffff 00409b5a 00000000 010cff48 00000008 00000000 ffffffff 00000000 008b9ce0 60d775e0 60d7cbf0 00403927 00000000 010cff48 00000008 00000038 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Address a secure site or a click the lock button Actual Results: PSM crashes
I forgot to add: I am reporting this now, because I cannot start any of the new builds at all. They crash at startup. I assume the problem has to do with the integration of PSM into the preferences.
Interesting. I was seeing what you describe, also on Win95, for several months prior to the landing of the new PSM. But now (e.g. Build ID 2001041212), it works fine -- I can use SSL and such with no problems. 2001041212 did choke on my old profile on startup, though: have you renamed your Users50 and tried that way? FWIW, I was able to copy my existing bookmarks, cookies, prefs, and mail files into the newly-created profile directory without any problem.
PSM is crypto so... ->cryto

Thanks, Eric. It seems I made the wrong connection. Mozilla crashed because of the old Profile it didn´t like and not because of PSM. I think it had to do with these new intermediate directories with random letter (or so it seems) that it likes to make in recent versions (I had a similar problem befor in a Linux build, so I should have been warned...) And yes, the new PSM works for me too now. Sweet!
