User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021212 Selecting Edit->Preferences from the Messaging / Mailboxes window had been working fine with this version of Mozilla. After making a number of Advanced changes (individual cookie management), Mozilla stopped working, and had to be manually killed. Since then, I have been unable to select bring up the Edit->Preferences menu. When I try, Mozilla is locked up. CPU utilization is pegged at 98-99%. I tried reinstalling the latest Mozilla build, but the same problem occurs. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open Mozilla on my system (Messaging / Mailboxes window) 2. Select "Edit->Preferences" menu 3. <lockup> Actual Results: The application is locked up. Expected Results: I would have expected the Preferences screen to appear.
After reporting this bug, I tested each recently modified file in my profile directory, one at a time. The test procedure was to rename one file (in the hopes that it would be recreated), restart Mozilla, and see if the application still would lock up. When I renamed XUL.mfl, I was able to access the Edit->Preferences menu. It appears that all functions and custom setting are working fine now.
