Details
Found this while investigating bug 89488 'the JVM catatonic' bug. After
installing the JVM from http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html on linux, File
-> Quitting the browser and restarting the netscape binary gives this erroneus
message...
"The program must close to allow a previous installation attempt to complete.
Please restart"
Yet, I File -> Quit the browser and closed all instances of run-mozilla.sh and
mozilla-bin. Doing a ps -u I found that xpicleanup is still running even though
the browser process is dead. This is more of an annoyance since you have to
restart the netscape/mozilla binary twice to get out of that message.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Install latest build using reccommended option (don't install Java is the key
point)
2. Go to http://home.netscape.com/plugins/jvm.html and download the Java Plugin
for linux
3. File -> Quit the browser after installation finishes
4. Start the moz/netscape binary (./netscape)
Expected result:
netscape starts with JVM plugin, you can now go to any java enabled sites.
Actual result:
Rather than the browser starting you get a dialog box
"The program must close to allow a previous installation attempt to complete.
Please restart"
You see this twice after you start the mozilla/netscape binary before you
actually get a browser or profile manager window.
