1234814 - downloads fail in firefox 43 for some linux users in safe mode too

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1233434

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[iii_iii]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:43.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/43.0
Build ID: 2015121300

Steps to reproduce:

Tried to download this

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/i386/iso-cd/debian-8.2.0-i386-netinst.iso

By clicking the 386 link here:

https://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst#smallcd

This affects all downloads even with a new profile in safe mode, however switching to a different linux user does not fail.

The problem has also been reported elsewhere.

Actual results:

The download appears as failed. It fails instantly and does not ask where to download.

The jsconsole reports:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIAnnotationService.setPageAnnotation]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: resource://app/modules/DownloadsCommon.jsm :: onDownloadChanged :: line 735"  data: no]



Expected results:

Should have downloaded

I am not sure. For me it is always the same user who cannot download. However I will try setting TMP.

Setting TMP didn't work, but there was a directory in /tmp called mozilla_mozillaUser0 and when I deleted it, the problem went away. So I guess it is a duplicate.
