On Win 95 build 1999121314, if i run mozilla by doing mozilla -installer i get the normal window that says: "Migrating user profile" "This may take a while" "Profile Migration xx% complete" (yes it really does say "xx") I can let it run and run, but it never seems to change or end. If I try and close the window by clicking on the X i get. ========== MOZILLA caused an invalid page fault in module NSPREFM.DLL at 014f:605f2bb5. Registers: EAX=2d6c6c6f CS=014f EIP=605f2bb5 EFLGS=00010202 EBX=605f6178 SS=0157 ESP=0170fea0 EBP=0170ff00 ECX=00000000 DS=0157 ESI=007ce510 FS=468f EDX=015b809b ES=0157 EDI=015b8080 GS=0000 Bytes at CS:EIP: 8b 08 57 50 ff 91 cc 00 00 00 57 8b f0 e8 51 03 Stack dump: 015a4120 00000000 605f6170 80000000 605f1c00 605f6178 015a4120 00000001 007ce510 00000000 00000000 00000000 015a4120 00000000 00000000 00000000 ======================================= Then mozilla's browswer opens till i close the Dr Watson log (above). The browswer opened to my own home page indicating the page migrated correctly. After I can run mozilla.exe and things seem to work fine. == DOS CONSOLE WINDOW ======== D:\Net_tools\mozilla\bin>mozilla -installer nNCL: registering deferred (0) WEBSHELL+ = 1 nsXULKeyListenerImpl::Init() ----- Migrating prefs ----- Migrating prefs done null WEBSHELL- = 0 WEBSHELL+ = 1 WEBSHELL+ = 2 nsXULKeyListenerImpl::Init() WEBSHELL+ = 3 Setting content window browser.startup.page = 1 startpage = http://users.ipa.net/~asj failed to set the page title.

Bhuvan, can you determine if this is profile manager, profile migrator, or something else entirely? Thanks! Steve

This looks like a migrator issue. Recently dougt put in a fix for this on Mac. I remember him mentioning that PL_Event is lost in this case. Reassining to dougt and adding myself to cc list.

racham, I have fixed this problem on the mac. I am not sure why this is assigned to me as there clearly is not enough isoloation. Assigning to back to you.

This bug should be tracked as a profile migration bug as the migration activity hasn't updated the termination events properly. Don, I'm assigning this to you. Seth can probably give his input on possible causes.
actually, esther goes and I have seen this bug. esther, did you ever log a bug with your observations about what "unstuck" the migration?

Accepting. Is this at all related to the disk space checking that we're currently not doing (but I have a fix for)?
Don, I wonder is this is related to 20762 which harks back to 19165. I remember the nsprefm.dll showing on console on that one. ASJ, are you using an installer to install or unzipping a file?
I am refering to zip version. I unzip the file then run mozilla -installer. I have not tried the mozilla installer download version. Should I try the mozilla auto install version? I have not picked up a build in about a week or so. I can get another build, but this problem has been happening to me for a while. Just running mozilla.exe with out -installer there is no problem.
Hmmm, I just tested this with the 12-21-1999-08 build and everything seems to be working fine. Running mozilla -installer is looking good. I guess this could be marked fixed....
