NS_ERROR_FAILURE

[rrr0321]

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Ubuntu Hardy, all updates, Launch Firefox 3, beta 5 and pop up dialog box error appears with header 'NS_ERROR_FAILURE' and details of 'Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIStringBundle.formatStringFromName]'. Clicking on ok removes the pop up and Firefox loads my start page without issue. Everything else in Firefox appears to work ok but this pop up appears everytime I launch Firefox. Any ideas?

Please try to reproduce this issue with a new profile maybe even try opening with the command firefox -safe-mode and see if the issue goes away.

John,

Thanks for your reply. I did try firefox safe mode but the error still
popped up. I have since done a fresh reinstall of Hardy and Firefox is
fine now.
