Description:   Opened: 2004-10-12 23:47 0000
Whenever I get a popup from firefox after installing
mozilla-firefox-1.0_pre-r2, I just get a box titled "Gecko" that says:

put-box {
^

The one I can reproduce is setting the tab-preferences preferences to confirm
when there are several tabs, then close the window.  The popup is as above. 
But I've seen it at least one other time that I don't think was related.

emerge info gives:

I just checked, and this does not happen with a new profile.  However, I'm
unwilling to throw away my cookies, passwords, bookmarks and so forth yet again
(and this did not happen with the previous version, 0.9.3).  And I can't find
any "put-box" in my real profile (except in the history.dat file from puting in
this bug).

I found a page
(<http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.phtml?title=Mozilla_Suite_:_FAQs_:_Profile>)
which suggested removing the XUL.mfasl file from the profile.  I did this and
the problem went away.  Perhaps mozilla-launcher should delete this as well
when there's an upgrade?  (It already deletes a couple of files; see bug
63999.)

fixed in mozilla-launcher-1.22, thanks :-)

Using Firefox 1.0.2, upgraded from 1.0, and mozilla-launcher 1.29 and I get an
empty window that has "Gecko" on the titlebar.  Its contents do not get
redrawn, because if I switch workspaces, the "Gecko" window will contain
whatever was visible on that part of the previously visible workspace.
