Details

We can easily reproduce this crash. I was able to reproduce this crash wil Jul 22 source tree. Go To preference. Change some settings. Click OK. It creates assertion which in-turn crashes the browser. I digged through the source. It seems to be type mismatch in the nshashtable lookup in the libpref. libpref tries to update the old pref tree with the new pref and it fails in type mismatch. I deleted the old registery and re-tried didn't help Most of the time the following happerns :- Key value comes out as 128 and Type value comes out as 64 and creates a assert. or Otherwise.

Marking it workforme. I cannot reproduce the problem.
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
This is most likely a duplicate of another bug whose number escapes me: clicking rapidly in the prefs window would crash. That problem has since been fixed. Marking this verified.
Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component. Pref UI component will be deleted.
