Opening the Preferences dialog crashes Firebird. If I pull out my prefs.js file,
Firebird will display the Preferences dialog, but Firebird crashes when the
Privacy pane icon is selected.

In both instances, Firebird appears to crash in nsPasswordManager::Init().

For instance:

Have you tested this with a new profile? If not, please try if the problem goes
away when you do so.

Comment 2

[Fredrik Henrysson]

I have tried it with a new profile and Firebird crashes when I select the
security preference.

I'm guessing this is a CVS build, since we still don't have an official OS X
build.  
a) backwards compatibility with profiles is a problem, but at this stage we're
not worried about that.  After 1.0, yes, we will be, but during this stage the
focus is on the end product.
b) there was a known crash bug on win32 and linux on the security/privacy panel
in the last week that is no longer appearing in current builds.  Whoever is
building CVS should do a clean checkout and rebuild Firebird before we confirm this.

Latest nightly 20030820 from jtalkington works.

reopen

Comment 6

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

re-resolve as WFM, since I don't see anything that would have fixed this
specifically in checkins.

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change
