I'm working on distribution code trying to unset a complex preference and I've discovered that if you set a complex preference to an empty value, getting the value fails with Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPrefBranch.getComplexValue]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" It should just return an empty string. You can see the problem with this code in a browser scratchpad: var defaults = Services.prefs.getDefaultBranch(null); var localizedStr = Cc["@mozilla.org/pref-localizedstring;1"].createInstance(Ci.nsIPrefLocalizedString); var key = "foo"; var value = ""; localizedStr.data = "data:text/plain," + key + "=" + value; defaults.setComplexValue(key, Ci.nsIPrefLocalizedString, localizedStr); defaults.getComplexValue(key, Ci.nsIPrefLocalizedString).data; Changing value to something other than an empty string works fine. and the value in preferences is correct - it shows: data:text/plain,foo=
