JavaScript strict warning: chrome://messenger/content/preferences/cookies.js, line 527: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property "QueryInterface"

Strange, there is no QI at that line:

This shows in the debug console when pressing "Show Cookies" in the Privacy options.

Aceman, can you see what's going on here?

Yes I can see the error in console.
This patch fixes it for me. It seems to me it produces the same result, just without the QI error.
Also other places in the file use this._view directly.

Do you still need this assignment? And the one at line 753?

No, I don't know.

::: mail/components/preferences/cookies.js

_populateList(aInitialLoad) {
this._loadCookies();
this._tree.view = this._view;

Yes, these are needed otherwise the whole dialog breaks.

Geoff, do you have an opinion here? cookies.js no longer exists in M-C, but it's there in m-esr60 with the lines Aceman is proposing to change now:

https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr60/source/browser/components/preferences/cookies.js#544

I think gCookiesWindow._view should have a QueryInterface function (to nsITreeView, I guess) and that's what the error's complaining about.

Let's see whether Geoff's suggestion from comment #5 helps.
