Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 13499

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P3)

Description

[Stephen P. Morse]

Go to edit/preferences.  Change a preference (e.g.,
warn-me-before-accepting-cookies) and click OK.  Get the crash shown below.
This just started happening -- it worked fine with a tree that I pulled Thursday
at noon but is crashing in a tree that I pulled Thursday at 9PM.

Actually, this problem showed up at least as early as last week (see my smoke
test E-mails from last week). Here's what I did to fix the problem:

- delete moz*.dat
- delete the Users50 directory

After doing that I was able to set prefs again.

But I had deleted mozregistry.dat and my entire tree (including users50) before
starting, just as I do whenever I pull a fresh tree.  In spite of all that,
I am crashing on setting preferences.  Furthermore, this didn't happen with
the tree that I pulled nine hours earlier.

If you did do such a clean restart, I'm surprised you didn't see the crash in
profile manager which I am getting everytime.

Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.
