User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050420 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: 1.0+ 20050420

When I add attempt to add an RSS URL, e.g:

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc

by manually entering the URL in the subs manager, it does not appear in either
the subs manager, or the main RSS account folder. I then start receiving regular
JS errors:

Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIRDFService.GetDataSourceBlocking]"  nsresult:
"0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://messenger-newsblog/content/utils.js :: getSubscriptionsDS :: line 165"
 data: no]
Source File: chrome://messenger-newsblog/content/utils.js
Line: 165

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:




After restarting, the feed still does not appear in either place.

I build Thunderbird myself nightly, from CVS.

Removing my old RSS account and creating a new one seems to have cleared the
problem.
