Subscribe is not launching (hang) for migrated profile.
So, I need to use the new profile to create new news account in order to have 
subscribe launching. I don't know that this is specific migration problem or 
news subscribe problem, I am just use subscribe component, please reassign or 
change the component if I was wrong.

this is not a regression.

what news server are you trying to use it against?

my guess is news.mcom.com or something with a lot of newsgroups.

with a migrated profile, the hostinfo.dat gets migrated.

see bug #39853 

if you wait long enough (and it will be a LONG time) it will unblock.

I'd love to fix this for beta2.

Yes. You are right. I used news.mcom.com...and it finally display from Linux.
From Mac, it seems it's still processing.... If bug 39853 already tracked for 
this problem, then I am marking dup for bug 39853 now.
