Crashes reading mail/news. Probly segfaults, but who knows with Winders... Ordinarily, just deleting the .msf files fixes things, but that didn't work. I re-created the profile and backed up to a known good nightly. After a couple of days, I tried a new nightly and everything was fine. Not the sort of thing I'd expect to need to do when using milestone releases, but it's not unheard of. When you updated to 0.9.7, did you remove 0.9.6 completely or just untar the files on top of wherever you put 0.9.6? When I update my nightlies, I remove the old one completely, first. I rarely have problems. If you don't wanna do the new profile thing, try deleting the .msf files and the Cache. Should accomplish the same thing. > I've done that long ago, when Mozilla had some compatibility versions > between versions, and a new profile was needed every time.

Should be in .mozilla/<profile name>/<saltfile>.slt/Mail/<servername>/ and .mozilla/<profile name>/<saltfile>.slt/Mail/Local Folders/ What else is there to move? Mail and bookmarks, perhaps the user.js file, if you've modified that.

Problem is, I'm satisfied with KMail/Konqueror/Mozilla at home with little motivation to try other browsers. I spend most of my playin' around time at home testing the CVS version of GNUCash, and trying to learns how the hell SND (a sound file editor) works, so I don't do alot of websurfing to really care what browser I use.
