98058 - Problems running NS6.1 and Mozilla simultaneously

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 94730

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Stephen Charlton]

NS 6.1 (en) & Mozilla 2001083109

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Netscape 6.1
2. Browse around to verify things are working
3. Start Mozilla
4. Browse around with Mozilla
5. Go back to the NS 6.1 window and try browsing around again

What happens:
Browsing to any URL in NS 6.1 just brings up a blank page, but browsing with
Mozilla continues to work as normal.

What should happen:
It should be possible to browse with both these browsers open.

Possible cause:
It looks like this is caused because they share the same profile file. If this
is the case then running multiple Mozilla processes will also show this problem,
so even though I think Netscape builds should have a different profile dir than
Mozilla does there should still be some locking on the profile dirs like in 4.x
so people will be able to run two copies of mozilla.

Yes, sharing a profile between ns6.1 and mozilla is a bad (tm) idea.
