afaiu the backup file is a zip file, please copy it to a normal computer.
examine its contents to determine there's nothing confidential, and then attach
it.

actually, it's best if you would reflash, make a backup, compare the two
backups, make a modified backup based on the clean backup and slowly integrate
files from the crashy backup and restore until you trigger the crash.

one's you've limited it to a single file (ideally), you can try limiting it by
lines. the smaller the testcase, the easier it'd be for someone to resolve it
(if you're lucky, the problem could be resolved by someone working outside
Nokia).

we have an internal fix for problems that match this description. without
receiving the actual crashing data, i can't be sure.

I'm adapting the summary, reporter (and other person from irc...) please see if
this appears to match your experience.

if we're right, the problem should be caused by:
$ grep engine ~/.browser
engine=opera

it should say (if it doesn't want to crash)
engine=microb

Not sure if this is the right spot to place the response. I did the grep engine
command and it reports Opera. So it seems some file in the restore carried some
opera identifier that is confusing mozilla, err MicroB

This one seems to be fixed, should it be resolved?
