14487 - Profile creation window renders blank

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Profile: BackEnd, defect, P3)

Description

[old account]

When I start up Mozilla with no profile (rm -rf ~/.mozilla), the profile
creation window appears, with the button bars at the top and bottom of the
window, but the actual content area stays blank (gray).  This was working ok
yesterday, I believe.

Also, if you close the profile creation window (with the window manager),
apprunner goes ahead and starts... I suppose this is also a bug, but I'm not
sure.

Pinkerton says it's a blocker.

The second part of your report is already covered by another bug.

Given that you get a profile and can start the app, what exactly makes this a
blocker?

Gayatri, see if you can figure out where the problem is.  Best bet is something
changed underneath us again.  Steve

You don't end up with a profile though, if you close the window to allow the
browser to continue to load.  The browser starts up with NO profile directory
created, which seems like it would cause problems in other areas.

You can't just click the Finish button, it says there is not enough information
filled in.

I managed to make it work by changing, in cpw.js:loadPage()

	if (!firstTime) {
		saveData();
	}

to

	if (firstTime == false) {
		saveData();
	}

for some reason, firstTime is undefined first time through.

This failure was because of a JS error. In cpw.js, there was this line:

var wizardMap = new Array("test-content1_1.xul");

which does not work. In fact, it fails, leaving the rest of the globals
uninitialized.

I changed this to

var wizardMap = ["test-content1_1.xul"];

and things work again.

Thanks Simon! Cannot believe how simple js syntax keeps changing.
I was concentrating on hidden form elements, as that was where the
error seemed to be existing.
