Build: 2002100108 Steps to reporduce: type about:config in the toolbar. Result: blank page Expected results: As Mozilla 1.0 FAQ says in section 1.5: entering about:config in the address bar will list every configurable variable in Mozilla. Repeatability: Tried 3 times. This bug is definately a regression to bug 129114 behavour. Possibly regression to bug 127252.

Have you enabled Javascript (i think thats required for that, try also about:plugins, about: and about:mozilla)?
Still showing blank page. Javascript is enabled for Browser, but disabled for Mail/News. about:plugins & about:mozilla still work. Although they now appear dirrerent: plugins... nice & stylish. mozilla... something about "the beast of mozilla". Verry silly. Verry ominous.
Just tried on default profile. Works fine. On my working profile, fails. Suggestions as to where to look in profiles dir for differences would be appreciated.
Did some more digging... Opened the javascript console & saw the following loading the page "about:config": Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]" nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/config.js :: onConfigLoad :: line 155" data: no] Tried running with JS debugger active: It appears that the prefBranch.getCharPref("plugin.soname.list") throws the exception. If can live without the preference value, this bug could probably be fixed by using at try catch statement (or whatever JS uses to handle exceptions), and in catch statement set prefValue to an error string. now, what is "plugin.soname.list" and why does it return an exception on my profile, and not on the default profile?
This is definately a duplicate 100% match! *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98667 ***
