Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0
Build ID: 20160726073904

Steps to reproduce:

I have several profiles - one for phonegap development, others for banking, facebook, video downloads. With the exception of Video profile, no other profile has any plugins installed. Video has "Video Downloader" installed. If I open the console (CTRL+SHIFT+J) a console.log message gets displayed (see screen print)






Actual results:

When I open any tab within any profile, I get the console message 
Warning: NetUtil.asyncFetch() requires the channel to have one of the security flags set in the loadinfo (see nsILoadInfo). Please create channel using NetUtil.newChannel()

I have Windows 7 with a fresh update from 47.0.1 to v48 earlier today. I do not recall this message occuring in 47.0.1


Expected results:

I believe the message should not occur. It left me wondering if it was created by my own code until I opened tabs in other profiles without having any websites open and the same message occurs within the console. Its just a distraction - I'm not aware of any other impact.

I notice an earlier ticket says this is fixed...

Can you test with Firefox 49 to see if it's the same issue as bug 1268595 that is fixed in Firefox 49?

I have tested your issue on latest Firefox release (v48.0), and managed to reproduce it. I've used a clean profile and a profile with Adblock Plus add-on installed. After every new tab opened on both profiles, the warning message was displayed in the console.

I've tried the same steps with Firefox beta v49.0b1 (Build ID: 20160802125918) and couldn't reproduce the issue.

Since this seems to be a dupe of bug 1268595, and due to no response from the reporter, closing.
