I should add that this problem after an upgrade from xulrunner 1.9-r2 to 1.9.0.1.

Comment 2 François Valenduc 2008-07-18 11:45:05 UTC

I have just rebuild xulrunner 1.9.0.1 and the problem doesn't occur anymore. I find that quite strange.

Well, so do I! ;-)

Maybe mozilla@ has an explanation? :)

No clue...worked for me, though.

Comment 5 François Valenduc 2008-07-20 17:27:09 UTC

I did the same upgrade on another computer and the problem didn't occur. So, this remains a mystery.
