64323 - View Saved Data hangs the browser on linux

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58417

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Christopher Blizzard (:blizzard)]

When I use the View Saved Data button on Linux on the new toolbar or in prefs
the browser hangs on linux.  It doesn't crash but it doesn't ever refresh
windows or respond to UI events.

This is working fine for me on a tree that I pulled on January 4.  Neither 
method of invocation is causing a hang.  Closing this as WFM -- reopen if you 
are still seeing the problem.

OK, this works fine on my machine at home but it still crashes at work with the
same build.  Steve, can you tell me what files the form manager uses so that I
might be able to track this down to some bad data on the filesystem?

The data that the form manager displays is in a *.w file in your profile (the * 
is a randomly-generated name).  You might try removing that file (or, 
equivalently, starting with a fresh profile) to see if the problem goes away.  
That would indicate a corrupted file.  If indeed deleting that file clears up 
the problem, you can e-mail the file to me (assuming you want to trust me with 
any personal data you have in that file) and I'll try to figure out why it is 
causing the hang.

The xul file that the form manager is attempting to bring up at the time 
that your hang is occuring is WalletViewer.xul (in extensions/wallet/editor).

I don't have any .w files in my profile directory.  Here's what I had in my
prefs that was wallet related:

user_pref("wallet.SchemaValueFileName", "75716294.w");
user_pref("wallet.caveat", true);
user_pref("wallet.crypto", true);

I removed those three prefs and the window came up.  I seem to remember, way
back when, turing on crypto-enabled saved passwords for mail and it hung then, too.

Ah, it's a crypto problem.  Now I'm pretty sure you are running into bug 58417.
