214445 - View Page Source fails

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[tenthumbs]

Any attempt at viewing page source fails with a dialog box that says
 "/tmp/<randomname> cannot be saved because the source file could not be read
etc."

Well, /tmp really does have 1777 permissions so that's not the problem. I do see
this:
  WARNING: NS_ENSURE_TRUE(encodedChannel) failed, \
    file nsExternalHelperAppService.cpp, line 1233

which is why I'm starting this in file handling.

Linux trunk build just 3 hours old.

everywhere :(

Comment 5

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

i won't have too much time until tonight to look at this.

1) are these clobber builds that you are reporting the problme with?
2) if so, and you cant find a fix, back it out and I will correctly fix it later.
