Subject:   Firefox nspr4.dll

Hi all,

When I have Thunderbird and Firefox running together, I often get an 
error message "Couldn't find nspr4.  Probably unsupported browser." in 
Firfox; often on pages that require Flash.  The only thing to remedy 
this is to close TB and restart FF.  Annoying.  Any ideas?

Cheers
G

I have the same problem. I think the problem arrived with V 1.5 of TB 
and FF, as did the issue that clicking on an FTP link in TB does not 
start FF. HTTP - no problem and cut and paste the FTP URL to the URL 
field in FF - No problem.

Are you using RUN! to execute FF and TB ? I think by using ConfigAPPS, 
we should not "need" to use RUN! if we have the same versions of the 
programs (and hence their required DLLs), however RUN! does create a 
separated environment for FF and TB, which may help in this case.

Cheers/2

Hi Ed,

Yep using run! but have just updated FF to v1.5.0.1 and thus far have 
not had the error.  Just the two sites though; one heavy with Flash and 
the other linked from TB; both of which experienced the error with FF 
1.5 but have performed normally with the update.  So far so good :-)

Visit my web site and pick up the Internet Application Integration tool. 
  It will probably help.

What level of Thunderbird?  I experienced so many mouse freezes that I 
backed off from 1.5 to 1.0.7.  I may have found that problem (a 
XWorkplace issue), but I have not had time to test.

Hi Gavin
I have the same problem except that I don't have to restart firefox or 
thunderbird. I just dismiss the error message dialog box and continue.

I have had a quick look at why the error message appears.

Thunderbird loads nspr4.dll when it starts up - whereas firefox only 
loads it if it is required.

If you start up firefox at a site that requires nspr4.dll and then start 
thunderbird, thunderbird will use the already loaded nspr4.dll.
However firefox will not use the nspr4.dll that has been loaded by 
thunderbird. It must be loading it using different options or by a 
different API call.

Not much can be done about the error message, but if you have to close 
firefox or thunderbird then your setup needs adjusting.

Regards
Dennis.

Hi Dennis,

   If we are saying that the FF version of the DLL works with both, 
what's to stop us simply copying the FF version over the TB one so that 
they are always the same ?

OK, Just tried this - thought that would be too easy ! - Start TB - no 
problems - try to start FF and it says that the install of FF is not 
completed and I need to restart !

OK, now after a restart, the previous message no longer appears - I 
believe I am now using the same NSPR4.DLL however the original error 
message still appears - so it can't be different NSPR4.DLL files that 
are causing the error - perhaps something that is called by it ??

Hi all,

I have used the Internet apps config thingy with FF 1.5 and TB 1.5 and 
did get the error, but since updating FF to 1.5.0.1 I've had no problems 
(touch wood).  For those trying different solutions with nspr4.dll in 
the 1.5 version of FF, I suggest going up a .0.1 revision and try your 
mileage.  As I said, it seems to work for me, but I'd be interested to 
see if others have the same (success??) experience.

Cancel that.  It seems I haven't touched enough wood  :-(
There it is... that nspr4 error.  Unfortunately with sites that require 
flash to navigate, closing TB and restarting FF is the only thing to 
do.  Annoying!
