(I think that I don't see it always: need to delete XUL.mfl first !?)

I indeed miss the "do you want MailNews as your default mail app" dialog !

I don't have v1.8a2 to check anymore,
but I believe that the regression occured between v1.8a2 and v1.8a3 !!?

What do you see when you try to open this location (you will need to copy and
paste it): chrome://messenger-mapi/locale/mapi.properties
You should see the same as this:

v1.7.2: file loads and displays as expected :-)

v1.8a3: Alert == "The file /locale/mapi.properties cannot be found. {...}" :-(

The file is present (with expected content) in <en-US.jar>,
or decompressed in <...\Mozilla\chrome\en-us\locale\en-US\messenger-mapi\>.

Well, I just downloaded mozilla-win32-1.8a3.zip, unzipped it, started Mozilla,
created a new profile (just in case), and everything worked as I expected.

They could be two symptoms with same cause, yes.

I'm using the .exe file;
but this seems to be profile related (;->):
I created a new minimal profile which does not show this bug (at first).

I'll try and see what is trigerring it... (Any hint ?)

(Note that bug 253240 still appears with new profile.)

OK, so how about these (you many need to use view source):
jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/mapi.properties
jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/contents.rdf

My mistake: I forgot to enable the |dump() output| preference :-<
Then, the bug is there even with the new profile !

> I'll try and see what is trigerring it... (Any hint ?)

For the record:
I had v1.7.2 and v1.8a2 installed;
I installed v1.8a3, then removed v1.8a2.
I did not try to remove+install v1.8a3 again.

(I use modified paths, for my "uncompressed/patched" setup; but I verified
previously that this is not the issue.)

> jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/mapi.properties

Displays directly:
jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar.zip!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/mapi.properties
resource:///chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/mapi.properties

> jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/contents.rdf

Displays with view source:
jar:resource:///chrome/en-US.jar.zip!/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/contents.rdf
resource:///chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/contents.rdf

Then, the issue seems to be limited to the chrome:// URI you provided...

OK, so does your installed-chrome.txt have this line:
locale,install,url,resource:/chrome/en-US/locale/en-US/messenger-mapi/
If it doesn't, can you add it and see if it helps?

The initial file only has
{{
...
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger/
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-smime/
locale,install,url,jar:resource:/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/en-US/messenger-mdn/
...
}}

> If it doesn't, can you add it and see if it helps?

That's it !!
No more exception, and the dialog is back :-)

Now, how come my file misses this line ?

Well, now I know what the problem is, I'll try to fix it in bug 253240.

(How come the zip install file worked for you ?)

> *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 253240 ***

Anyway, I checked in the meantime that adding the line does fix bug 253240 too :-)
(duplicate at last ;->)

.zip builds come with a predefined installed-chrome.txt
installer builds create it based on .jst files
