I have this crash problem and i am not in all the possible trouble boats you suggested.

I had 1.0 official exe build installed.
I downloaded 1.0.1 from Firefox product page.
I uninstalled 1.0 from Add/Remove Programs.
It asked, "do you want to delete the directory?" i said no because i do not want loose my plugins (real player, flash, java and searchplugins).
I installed 1.0.1.
on entering URL in address bar it crashes.

another thing i notice is that "update available" icon (green one), always there. even though i have no updates. this was not the case in 1.0.

My current theme is Firefox default theme but i had installed "Charamel 1.1.1" and "iCandy Junior 1.5". I used use them when ever i feel like using them.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

another thought: uninstall should specify which directory it is talking about.

thanks.

ohman, when you do an uninstall, and don't delete the install directory, which files are still remaining? A list would be extremely helpful.

Asa,

thanks for quick reply.
well, i did not check that at that time. :(
but i guess i can uninstall 1.0.1, reinstall 1.0, unistall 1.0 to check that out. will do that and let you know.

removing autocomplete.xpt did not help.

thanks.

posting here for visibility's sake.

If I enter the URL: https://agia.fsf.org/order/
I get the padlock in the bottom and the address bar is yellow.

Now if I click on one of the #refs, eg the link "Software",
I lose the padlock and the yellow address bar.

Pasting the full url https://agia.fsf.org/order/#software
gives the secure feedback, but clicking another #ref
loses it again.

This is with 1.0.1 en-us Linux

minor thing - the 1.0.1 copyright notices all still say 2004!

On an off-topic note, I'm having severe problems with Prefwindow V on Linux. I can't get it to show at all, I only get a window with lots of garbled widgets. Known issue? Anyway, I hope it'll be fixed soon ;-).

I removed the auto complete file and I still have the problem.

When Putting in an address in the address bar or search bar and clicking "enter"
it freezes and exists. it works only if I use the go button.

Having a problem since upgrading to v1.01. Any url typed into the address bar crashes the browser. It's not an autocomplete problem. Tried that fix and it didn't change anything. I can click on a bookmarked url and it works great, but as sioon as I press enter on one entered into the address bar, it gives me a memory fauld (memory can't be read error). Also crashes the same way when entering something into the google toolbar. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but no change. Using windows 2000 adv. server. Never a problem before this upgrade. Can I get a copy of v1.0 somewhere till the problem is fixed? Thanks

That didn't work. I have 1.0 installer and on toip of that the 1.0.1 installer. Removed autocomplete.xpt. Still get crashes.

HAd the same problem - read somewhere it had to do with the moox builds. In any event the proposed solution was to nuke the install folder, which I did - and now everything works fine. (except the hang bug which I've had for some 7 months now... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=252689)

There's a really good tutorial on how to do a How to really do a fresh install of Firefox at The Adblock Project forums.

I had this problem after installing 1.0.1 (from mozilla.org) over a MOOX M2 zip (I'd forgotten it was a zip!).

Deleting autocomplete.xpt didn't work, so uninstalled via Add/remove programs. However this went a little weird as there was an entry there called 1.0PR (as well as 1.0.1)! So I uninstalled that, successfully. Attempting to remove 1.0.1 just gave me an error (no registry entry or something).

The files left in my Firefox directory after uninstalling was:

Directories:

!uninstall
_moox
chrome
components
defaults
extensions
Old
plugins
res
searchplugins

Files:

bloaturls
components
defaults
gdiplus.dll
install
mangle
msvcp71.dll
msvcr71.dll
rebasedlls
regchrome
regxpcom
shlibsign
xpcshell
xpidl
xpt_dump
xpt_link

Hope that's of use!

Hi,

I got this problem too, installed the zip build over my existing 1.0 (probably an installer build) whitout any deletion just unzipped into firefox dir. Then I got the "url bar crash" + the "update icon always here" problem. I then installed the installer build on toop (I've read that the installer build fix the update icon problem) and both problem was gone.

Actually, there are still being problem such as the find toolbar appearing when typing an ' or / in an textarea or input box (this happends here for example), crashes on closure and the arrow key being inactive (the begin / end keys too) in textarea.
