From Bugzilla Helper:

BuildID:    20010801

I have the mozilla "quick-start" tray icon loaded.  After a day or two of
constant use [i.e windows worked for two days straight :-)] I find it hard to
connect to news [i.e timeouts] when I click on the mail/news program.  [i.e I
open mozilla news reader].  When I opended my firewall program I saw mozilla had
about 15 open connections [even when no active mozilla window was open].  If I
close the tray-icon and reload it I can read my news fine.

I think it's just that the sockets are not closed properly when you close the
windows and leave the tray icon open.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open quick-start
2.repeatedly open/close mail/news reader
3.

Actual Results:  Timeout on news/mail reading.

Expected Results:  Shouldn't time out.

Possibly a dup of bug 95130?

I'd say this is either bug 67957 or bug 66150
