Re: [Galeon-user] [Galeon] Registry of Galeon component screws up Mozilla

[Christophe F. <te...@gn...>]

This is a known issue, generally people don't manage to trace what
happens :) This was described in bug 99229. The trick is to make sure
you don't have write access to this compreg.dat file. Though I haven't
seen this bug in a long time on my installation, while compreg.dat is
probably user writeable, so that mya have been fixed in mozilla.
