253118 - Cookies and Privacy Options broken in 7/26 build

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Asa Dotzler [:asa]]

Cookies aren't enabled by default in a new profile, are disabled in an old
profile and I'm unable to get them enabled. 

Steps:
1. Install and launch Firefox with a new profile.
2. Open cookie prefs and see they're not enabled.
3. Enable cookies and restart.

Results: 
Cookies are still not enabled, checkbox in prefs is unchecked. Trying to use
sites that require cookies is busted as no cookies can be stored. 

This is a smoketest blocker and the aviary branch will be closed until it is
resolved.

Bug 253112 is NOT only about cookies.

Do I need to file a new bug for all privacy settings not working ?

The js console shows, upon opening Options->Privacy, this error:
Error: Components.classes['@mozilla.org/cookiemanager;1'] has no properties
Source File: chrome://browser/content/pref/pref-privacy.js
Line: 14

The happens in the Startup() function. It breaks the whole panel.

You don't have to nominate smoketest blockers as release blockers. They block
_everything_ and your re-nominating them for something that's weeks out when
they will be fixed _today_ just wastes triage peoples' time. Thanks.

everything else.

vlad's got a test build going for this.  Looks like dwitte missed updating
configure, assuming it'd automatically happen like on trunk.

autoconf'ing a new configure (checked in) seems to have fixed this in my local
build; I'm able to partake of delicious delicacies again.  Can someone confirm?

Cookies are working again in the last build

Can we get a new official branchbuild now this is out of the way ?
I hate to leave "my readers" waiting and downloading sweetlou builds at random. ;-)

Readding Cookies to the summary (for historical reasons) since Cookies were
broken altogether, not just the Cookie part of Privacy Options. The broken
Privacy options panel was a result of that.
