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.

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.

Try a current nightly build from
ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/

You're still using the same profile.

Are you sure, that you started firebird with the new profile?
>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.

Done.

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.

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

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.
