(Thunderbird :: General, defect)

Description

[Meichthys]

Steps to reproduce:

The profiler seems to work as expected. This bug report is only to report that an error is logged to the console:

• Start Thunderbird
• Use Ctrl-Shift-I to open developer tools
• Nagigate to performance tab
• Ensure "Thunderbird" profiler preset is chosen
• Click "Start recording"
• View the Console Log

Actual results:

"Failed to get the active browserId while starting the profiler." is displayed in the console log as an error.

Expected results:

Nothing should have been logged as an error.

Thank you Meichthys. As you hinted, it's a minor problem, but should be fixed anyway.
Confirming as described for 102.2.0 (64-bit), Win10.
