13525 - Error loading browser chrome via File->Open Web Location

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

I'm seeing a strange error loading the browser chrome url
(chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul which translates to the file URL given
below).  This occurs if I choose "Open Web Location" off the file menu, then
check the "Open in new window" button on that dialog.

This error message is displayed on the console:

Error: Can't load: file:///D|/MOZILLA/DIST/WIN32_D.OBJ/BIN/chrome/navigator/cont
ent/default/navigator.xul (804b0002)

If I cut/paste that URL into Mozilla, it loads, so I'm sure it isn't a typo in
the chrome URL.  Now and then, I get a crash in widget code (creating a window)
that occurs early on in XUL content model creation (apparently).

I have seen a similar failure loading other chrome URLs (for dialogs), but this
one is most easily reproduced.

Similar results when trying to load the "download progress dialog;" see bug
#12121.

Looks like the convertChromeURL is not getting called from the open in the menu.
Who would get this, hyatt?
