Description avelasco 1999-09-11 11:15:04 EDT 
If I delete ~/.netscape (rm -rf .netscape) then Netscape
warns about creating directories for archive and cache, and
presents the license agreement, but after that, it works
fine. If I close Netscape navigator and start it again, a
core is dumped and gnome advices about an application slow
or not responding. That with any user (root or not root).
Environment:
Red Hat 6.0 with gnome and enligtement.
Netscape 4.51 (shipped with R.H.6.0)
Same problem with trying netscape 4.61-4 (common and
communicator)
It seems to be something that has changed ultimately (a
dozen of days before today all worked correctly). I've
uninstalled netscape's rpms and installed 4.61-4.

*** Bug 5132 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Recently I upgraded netscape to version 4.61-1 and now I
can't sart netscape. I downgraded back to 4.51, but also
can't start netscape.
If I delete ~/.netscape (rm -rf .netscape)it works fine for
the first time, but if you close Netscape it's not possible
to start it again.

your environment/settings?

------- Additional Comments From   10/22/99 10:03 -------
I've got a similar problem on many PCs. Everything works fine with
Netscape 4.x.y and, I don't know why, when Netscape is started again,
it freezes. I have to close it with the anihilate option from window
menu bar. If I want to start it again, I must remove the file
~/.netscape/preference.js
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 1999-11-22 11:51:59 EST 
What is it doing when it freezes/dies? Can you get anything
useful out of strace or gdb?
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 1999-12-17 17:27:59 EST 
closed, lack of input.
