Open firefox and check for updates. If no updates are found, you won't get a
message that no updates are found. Instead, firefox will generate this JS error
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://mozapps/content/update/update.js :: anonymous :: line 423"  data: no]

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.open firefox.
2.check for updates

Actual Results:  
the check for updates dialog opened but failed to give the results or display a
message that no updates were found

Expected Results:  
The software should have displayed a messeage that no updates were found.
Also, this error was in the JS console
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://mozapps/content/update/update.js :: anonymous :: line 423"  data: no]
