I was trying to debug an error whereby accessing navigator.mozApps throws NS_ERROR_FAILURE in Thunderbird.

Fortunately I found a changeset in between where navigator.mozApps broke and where it got converted to webidl where the global navigator property code propagated the actual error, which gave me a chance to debug it.

It would have been nice if you had actually propagated the error instead of just unhelpfully throwing NS_ERROR_FAILURE.
