251486 - ok button on preferences panel ceases working

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 225236

(Firefox :: Settings UI, defect)

Description

[Adam Greenberg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

I find that when I attempt to change preferences, the ok button does not
respond.    Sometimes it works once, just after I have started Firefox. 
However, even this behavior is intermittent.  The problem does not occur in
Mozilla 1.5 (I'm not up to 1.7 yet).

Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open the prefenences and change something.
2.  Click ok.  Ok does not respond.  Cancel will work however.
3.  
Actual Results:  
Preferences remained as they were.

Expected Results:  
The new preferences should have been saved.

a) in the Javascript console, what errors are listed?
b) what preferences are you changing?
c) if this is an older profile, check the blocked popups list and remove any
sites with port numbers.

I see this in the java console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x804b000a [nsIURI.spec]"  nsresult: "0x804b000a (<unknown>)"  location: "JS
frame :: chrome://browser/content/pref/pref-features.js :: onPopupPrefsOK ::
line 120"  data: no]

I doesn't seem to matter what preferences I try to change.

When I removed blocke pop-up sites with ports, the save of preferences worked.

ports are ignored now by nsIURI, which is why the old entries cause problems. 
You can no longer add stuff with ports, since somewhere around 0.7.

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