Keepsafe conflict with Firefox/Thunderbird
Problem with Keepsafe with Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird
Friday, July 1, 2005 by Marauder1024 | Discussion: ThinkDesk
Ok, I posted this to the newsgroup (news.stardock.com) with no response, there seems to be a lot of activity here so I'll give it a go.
Here is the text from that message...
---
I'm running Keepsafe 0.96[b].002 and when keepsafe loads on start, the
firefox.exe and thunderbird.exe processes do not properly terminate. The
windows will close, but Task Manager has them still in memory (and
taking up memory). If I try to shut down Windows without manually
terminating the processes I get an error saying that
"XPCOM:EventReceiver" is not shutting down.
If I disable keepsafe.exe in msconfig, all works well again.
---
Ok, now obviously keepsafe is doing something that these guys don't like. I've not really had a good opportunity to play with it yet and it might be fixed by excluding things like the profile directory. I will have to further investigate.

Any idea on when a fixed version might be available for the rest of us?
Thanks,

We believe we have reproduced & fixed this internally.
Its actually a case of firefox & thunderbird preventing KS from doing something so the KS dll gets stuck waiting for an event which never happens.
