When trying to export a local address book, nothing appears, except a dialogue
box trying to tell me that the nsIAddressBook.exportAddressBook() method didn't
get enough arguments from the calling context:

"not enough arguments [nsIAddressBook.exportAddressBook]"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select any local address book
2. Try to export it.
3. Watch in agony while it fails.

Actual Results:  
The following dialog appeared: "not enough arguments
[nsIAddressBook.exportAddressBook]"

Expected Results:  
I'd have expected to see some sort of exporter.

Sorry about the dupe. It's quite emarrassing to post a dupe. I'm wondering why I
couldn't find the previous bug ... I've searched for 'not enough arguments' and
for 'nsIAddressBook'. Still, when I search through the front page for 'not
enough arguments', bug 294008 is the only one that shows up, so I assume that
the quick search on the front page only finds open bugs?

Next time, I'll use the proper search interface in order not to waste any more
precious developer time. Again, I'm sorrty

As an aside, while posting the bug, you can also search for previous reports,
but after waiting for a few minutes for it to return results for a few times, I
gave up on this.
