I frequently play around with new builds of Mozilla on Linux, MacOS,
and Win9x systems. I would delete or rename the old Mozilla folder,
unpack a newer build in its place, and let the new build access the
same user info as the old one.
This worked for the last few weeks (months?), but suddenly, it doesn't
work anymore (on all 3 systems). Either the application hangs on the
Mozilla intro screen or nothing happens. If I remove the new build
(actually, I get similar problems if I install an older build) and
replace it with the original one, then things work fine. The only way
to get the new build to work is to let it create a new Application
Registry which is a bit inconvenient.
Either something has fundamentally changed with Mozilla recently, or
there's some sort of user error on my end (since I have now posted this
publicly, it will surely be user error :P ). Anybody else having these
problems?
