The fact that 6.01 doesn't work for you either is perhaps a clue. Do you
only have one profile? Perhaps it got corrupted. Try creating a new profile
with "mozilla -ProfileManager" and see if that works -- if so we can start
figuring out the problem in your old profile.
One problem that cropped up in the 6.0->6.01 upgrade (especially if on Win9x
and upgrading using the SmartUpdate site) is corruption in some of the
registry files. Try deleting "Xpcs Registry.dat" and "component.reg" and see
if 6.01 will start up.
the .performance group is wrong for this, setting followups to the .general
group.
