Reporter:
Have you installed the build in a fresh directory (not over an older build) ?
Can you try it with a new profile ? (run "mozilla -profilemanager" and create a 
second,additional test profile)

With a new profile it works, but I didn't manage to make this bug appears again
even with my default profile.
For the installation, yes, I installed it over a previous build, but I use the
installer and select the "delete" option.

WORKSFORME with 2001-09-11-21 on Linux.

Since the reporter himself cannot reproduce this either I will close this bug as
WFM. Please re-open it if you still see it with a recent nightly build on a
fresh install and with a new profile.

mass verification of WorksForMe bugs: to find all bugspam pertaining to this,
set your search string to "IfItWorksForSlappyTheSquirrelThenItWFM".

if you think this particular bug is *still* an open issue, please make sure of
the following before reopening:

a. that it's still a problem with ***recent trunk builds*** on the all
appropriate platform[s]

b. provide clear steps to reproduce (unless a good test case is already in the
bug report), making sure it pertains to the original problem (avoid morphing as
much as possible :)
