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.

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 :-) Cheers G Ed Durrant wrote: > Gavin Miller wrote: >> Hi all, >> >> When I have Thunderbird and Firefox running together, I often get an >> error message "Couldn't find nspr4.

Any ideas? > > Cheers > G > > > 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.

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 ??

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.
