Faithful, long-time moz advocate with half a clue here.
I have seen a degrading condition on two different WinME systems. Starting
moz from scratch, I either get the splash or nothing, more likely nothing.
If I open the Close Program box with ctrl-alt-del, Mozilla is there, is not
listed as "not responding", but is not in the taskbar either, nor can it be
opened with alt-tab. If I try to start it again, all I get is more
instances in the Close Program box. Closing them out one-by-one, once in a
while one of them "comes to life", shows the splash and then operates
normally. Once in a while they can't even be closed out.
Once up and running, if I try to open a new window, either by right-clicking
and selecting "open in new window" on a link, or by hitting ctrl-N, the new
window takes about 30 seconds to open.
This has happened on the latest nightly builds as well as some older
builds. Starting with -ProfileManager does not have any impact on the
problem. Deleting anything in \windows relating to Moz and reinstalling
from scratch seemed to help for a day, but then degraded.
In previous incarnations I had different themes running but after reading
about the problems they might cause, I switched back to Modern in the last
reinstall and the problem is still here.
