Don't overlook my experience that had the error without
any Google toolbar installation as described in a prior input
to this thread.
It showed up with AdBlockPlus 0.7.5.2 I installed as an
ABP upgrade and went away with 0.7.5.3 when it was
introduced a few days later.
Again, FWIW.

1. Re: Firefox Error revisited ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Yeah I think this is it;
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359630
Following the instructions in the link from my previous email fixes the
issue. FF definitely has a DDE issue because of the hinky way they are
handing their windows. At this point I wouldn't count on this being
fixed soon.
In one of the bug tickets its explained quite well I am betting, one
user stated he thinks what happens is the DDE conversation is started
with the Firefox window thats present at launch, during the launching
process the original thread/window dies and DDE isnt properly
transferred to the new Firefox window or perhaps even, MS was sloppy in
their explorer code, (my theory) and is assuming once the DDE session
is open it always stays open and after their inital 'message' they send
another without checking the status of the DDE connection and whammo,
error gets generated.
Why this gets worse seemingly with the google toolbar present (and
really enhanced with GT and DQSD together) I am not sure. Some have
pointed out errors that are likely related to this (
http://groups.google.com/group/FFToolbar-Group-Bugs/browse_thread/thread/072935cb2d9acabe/77cdc339cf169b6f#77cdc339cf169b6f
) to google but I dont know what if any action was taken.
So in the end the bug isnt yours or DQSD's, its related to windows and
FF. Since the bug has been around off and on since as early as 2002 I
dont know if FF Dev team will ever address it....

Hi
Richard,
That could well be... But would the Google toolbar change the DDE
setup for .html?
I don't understand why the search toolbar changes the behavior of the
browser at startup.
I'm not intimately familiar with DDE, so the details evade me, but I
think we may be onto something here. Please post back if you find
anything out.
