120395 - "Your Certificates" tab is blank

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect, P1)

Description

[Erland Lewin]

When I select Edit... Preferences... Privacy & Security... Certficates, and
click on "Manage Certificates...", the initial "Your Certificates" pane is blank
(just the blue background, no list).
  I do have one personal certificate, from my bank (Skandiabanken.se).
  I can see it if I in the mail reader choose Edit... Mail / Newsgroup account
settings... Security..., and click select in the "Digital Signing" box. Or for
that matter if I try to log in to the bank.

I get the following error messages which may be relevant:

###!!! ASSERTION: getElementById(""), fix caller?: '!aId.IsEmpty()', file
nsXULDocument.cpp, line 3575
###!!! Break: at file nsXULDocument.cpp, line 3575
###!!! ASSERTION: getElementById(""), fix caller?: '!aId.IsEmpty()', file

###!!! Break: at file nsXULDocument.cpp, line 3575
JavaScript error: 
chrome://pippki/content/certManager.js line 73:
document.getElementById("user-outliner") has no properties


I'm having another problem which I havn't filed a bug for yet, which is that
even if I select the certificate for signing, I get the following error when
trying to send a signed E-mail:

Sending of message failed. You requested to sign this message, but the
application failed to find an encryption cert to include in the signed message
or the certificate has expired.

I don't know if the two problems are related. My certificate has not expired.
I'm using a CVS version from yesterday.

We haven't changed the XUL or the javascript for this dialog. If the XUL API
we're using have changed then we haven't been notified.

cc hyatt. Can you shed light on this?

Jan, can you tell what' up here. The relevant xul/js is at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/security/manager/pki/resources/content/

and it's failing apparently on this type of thing:

 52   caOutlinerView = Components.classes[nsCertOutliner]
 53                     .createInstance(nsICertOutliner);
 54   caOutlinerView.loadCerts(nsIX509Cert.CA_CERT);
 55   document.getElementById('ca-outliner')
 56    .outlinerBoxObject.view = caOutlinerView;
