Details
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Firefox 1.0 PR
Whe I clicked on the desktop icon for Firefox 1.0 PR *Windows 2000 full Office
edition*, a personal profile manager opened instead of the browser, asking to
create a personal profile. I went to create a profile, and Firefox caused my
computer to screen to go black then to the blue screen of death. I shut the
power off to my machine, waited and rebooted, and quickly deleted Firefox from
the machine, just in case, did a full virus scan and spybot scan, and found
nothing. I had spoken to a few people on various computer forums about this and
they mentioned that Mozilla does teh eprsonal profiles, but they haven't heard
of Firefox doing it. And the attempted computer crash sounds very suspicious.
Is Firefox supposed to be asking to attempt to create personal profiles? Is
there some bug int he software that makes the computer try to crash in the blue
screen when a user tries to create the profile after being asked to?

I've seen the profile manager come up when there's an invisible firefox process
running in Windows XP. I have no clue as to the cause, though. Exiting from
the profile manager, killing any remaining firefox processes and starting again
results in the expected behaviour.
