Context Menu Extensions (see http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_ctxextensions.html.en) stopped working with
the 10/24/2003 nightly build. It worked fine with the 10/23/2003 nightly build
from aebrahim.

The extension installs but the feature is non-functional. Trying to use it results
in some joavscript errors if you have the JavaScript Console is up and running.
I had a look at the checkins from 10/23 to 10/24 and didn't see anything
obvious that would affect this area.

The author of the extension, Piro, is apparently busy as posts to his private
forum at http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/forum/ about this and a few other
problems haven't been answered for a few days.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Intall the extension.
2. Restart the browser.
3. Select Preferences from the Extensions menu, change something, exit
   preferences, and then go into preferences again. The setting shouldn't be
   set. It may be that the preferences dialog doesn't even show up.

Alternately, right click for the context menu and all the options show up.

Actual Results:  
One of the problems in the JavaScript console is "ExtService Has No Properties"

Expected Results:  
The expected results for the right-click context menu is a fairly short context
menu. You can normally add entries via the preferences.

a) wrong Product (because this seem to be a firebird extension)
b) this is invalid because it's unclear if the extension is broken or if there
is a bug in Mozilla. The author of an extension can create a bug if he finds a
bug in Mozilla

The extensions was released on October 3, 2003 and I tested it with almost every
version of Firebird up to and including October 24, 2003. What I'm looking for
is the checkin from the 23rd to the 24th that resulted in the problem or some
kind of pointer as to how to fix the problem myself.

The author of the extension does not visit Mozillazine and, I suspect, does not
visit Bugzilla. He has asked me to file bugs on his behalf in the past.

Verified not a SeaMonkey bug.  Please file firebird bugs on Firebird....  I
assume that you know about bonsai and can look up checkins?
