1068578 - mozAlarm.add fails if third optional argument is omitted

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: DOM: Core & HTML, defect, P5)

Description

[Jehan Bruggeman]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:32.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/32.0
Build ID: 20140830210550

Steps to reproduce:

- Install Openwapp on FxOS 2.1
- open application
- screen remains white because code is blocked here (1)

This is due to (2), which sandboxes the third argument of mozAlarm.add, which means that if no argument is there it fails. I tested modifying the call to add a third dummy argument ({}) and the app works again.

(2) http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/alarm/AlarmsManager.js#75

See openwapp discussion here: http://git.ovz.ca/openwapp/openwapp/issues/129


Actual results:

mozAlarm.add() call blocked the whole application.


Expected results:

mozAlarm.add() call should have succeeded.
