The compagny i work for is a big compagny they have more than 2000 NT servers, and about 200 workstations, that's not counting the winx and XP machines. I have a workstation running Windows NT 4 sp6 and various security fixes.

I use to have a PIII 1 Ghz, on which I ran FireFox 0.8/0.9.2 without any problem. Today I was given a new machine with 512 Mb ram which is wht I need to run the tools I use for work (Mostly Computer Associates stuff). The new machine is powered by a Pentium IV (4) running at 2.8 Ghz. So happily I migrated from one machine to the other. After fidddling with some drivers for the new machine it work except for FireFox that would crash on startup :-( I uninstalled FF and reinstalled it. Imported my IE setting and there you go FF was working. So I decided to go on fr.yahoo.com which was my homepage in FF and is not in IE :: bang FF crashed. I decided to test a few other site I visit often and use has "is the net alive" sites, Slashdot crahed. Ok I thought FF had a problem with My new machine, lets get Seamonkey. Same problem with seamonkey. Fortunaly I have visual studio 6 on my workstation, I don't use it but it was installed by the guy who worked on my workstation before me. And when Moz crashed the debugger told me I had a problem with IMGLIB2.dll, with that I decided to query bugzilla, and found bug #248509, which deals with my problem. Bugs says it's for people using Services paacks <5, But I'm running 6a so. At the end of the bug there is a build with the fix attached. That build works like a charm on my machine. Thank you bugzilla. Thank you Michael Moy.
