The problem is mixing DLLs that use standard VCRT with those that use Mozilla's modified VCRT. As long as there are bugs in the browser of the sort that Neil has found, developers of libraries upon which the browser depends, who develop with the free version of MSVC, CANNOT test their own library builds against Firefox builds from Mozilla. -- dev-tech-crypto mailing list dev-tech-crypto@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-tech-crypto
