Damn! The problem is probably because I'm not subscribed to any groups
on the offending server. I can't subscribe because I can't connect to it
anymore. Is there a way to manually subscribe to newsgroups by editting
some text file while mozilla is closed? I've got a copy of an old
profile around here somewhere, perhaps copying that will work. I'll try it.
BTW, the talkback IDs of my crashes are: TB30823738X and TB30809639Q
Regards,
