303057 - Unable to install any extension if no extensions are yet installed

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 300442

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[cyril]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

If extensions list is empty (EG: fresh clean install) then trying to install any
extension does nothing. Javascript console though reports a problem at
richlistbox.xml line #171 (as of Deer Park Alpha 2):

this.scrollBoxObject.scrollToElement(this.selectedItem);

Changing this to:

if (this.selectedItem)
  this.scrollBoxObject.scrollToElement(this.selectedItem);

seems to fix the problem.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Clean install (Deer Park A2)
2. Try to install any extension any way (seemingly)
3. No profit.

Actual Results:  
Exactly nothing

Expected Results:  
Install the extension
