User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 StumbleUpon/1.89 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7 StumbleUpon/1.89 The URL when loaded in Firebird causes all loaded pages to become messed up, to the point that I had to close Firebird. When I started up Firebird it became messed up again since it loaded the last visited pages. So I closed bill gates' page, close Firebird, start Firebird - and everything's now fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Well, to be honest, I can understand why Firebird is doing it... I almost puked myself when I saw the pictures in that page :)
No problems with my 2003-11-18 nightly build on WinXP. Please try it again after disabling the stumbleupon extension. This extension is known to cause problems. If that doesn't help try a current nightly with a fresh profile <http://texturizer.net/firebird/faq.html#profilemanager> without any additional themes and extensions.

Can you describe how pages were "messed up" or attach a screenshot? If Firebird is just not painting stuff, this is bug 184933 or one of the bugs that bug links to.
I've disabled StumbleUpon, still same problem. Downloaded Firebird 0.7 again into a different directory, tried the URL, and still same problem. One interesting note - even though the directory of this new Firebird installation is different, the extensions from the old Firebird installation showed up. So I created a new profile (MozillaFirebird.exe -p), but still the extensions shows up. Any information on how to have a new clean Firebird installation is welcome. I'll try to download the latest build in a moment and see if the problem's still there.

Yep, it showed the Profile Manager window. I clicked on the "clean" profile (the one I just made), and clicked on "Start Mozilla". All extensions and settings are intact. >>Any information on how to have a new clean Firebird installation is welcome. >1. Delete your firebird program directory. >2. Search for a "phoenix" directory. >3. Backup the phoenix directory. >4. Delete the phoenix directory. >5. Now unpack the current nightly build to a location of your liking. >6. Start firebird. Just out of curiosity, I unpacked the latest build, and ran "MozillaFirebird.exe -p" It ran clean, with no extension whatsoever. OK, back to this bug - another thing I noticed is that after I invoked this bug (by loading that URL into Firebird), Windows were also crippled. Drag/drop doesn't work, clipboard is disabled. I restarted Windows, and now it's OK again. Another interesting thing is that when I tried to capture the screen (to show how Firebird ended up), Irfanview came up with a blank picture. All black. I closed Firebird and tried again, and Irfanview captured the screen OK. I think, it could be the same problem as bug #184933
>No problems with my 2003-11-18 nightly build on WinXP. I clicked on "nightly build" on Firebird's page, but it links to Mozilla's nightly build instead. Firebird's latest build is http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest- trunk/MozillaFirebird-win32.zip, which is the one I'm using now. I'm using Windows 2000 with Service Pack 2 applied. Thanks.
