When the MOZ_UPDATER is disabled in .mozconfig, visiting TB's preferences -> Advanced panel produces an error in console about:
23:13:12.076 document.getElementById(...) is null 1 advanced.js:124
	init chrome://messenger/content/preferences/advanced.js:124:5
	anonymous chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml%20line%20753%20%3E%20Function:3:1
	_fireEvent chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml:754:24
	observe chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml:729:17

The advanced.js code gets document.getElementById("version"), which doesn't exist in the DOM. That's true because in advanced.xul the updater elements are ifdeffed out when MOZ_UPDATER is unset.

Not tested the patch but it looks reasonable.

Shouldn't the part after |if (AppConstants.MOZ_UPDATER) {| until |gAppUpdater = new appUpdater();| be indented?

Theoretically it should, I just didn't want to touch it only for re-indenting :) I'm not sure what the lesser evil is :)
Jorg, what do you prefer?

Always indent correctly, no question.
