Comment 1

[Nelson Bolyard (seldom reads bugmail)]

The assertion in GetInternalSlot means that NSS has not been initialized,
or that NSS initialization failed, but the caller then went ahead and
behaved as if it had succeeded.  This is a programming error in the
caller of NSS, and the assertion is there to detect such programming
errors external to NSS.  The solution is probably to initialize NSS before
attempting to do whatever is being attempted.

Comment 2

[Kai Engert (:KaiE:)]

I don't understand how a SSL connection can be active without having NSS
initialized.

Timeless, can you please describe better what you mean with "very early access
in viewer to a https". Were you switching profiles?

well, this happens to me in mfcembed if i try to visit https://bugzilla.mozilla.org or https://sf.net (there's already a crashed mfcembed open).

log showing most activity through sslsock.c

i can breakpoint any method you like. just specify which. or just build mfcembed and visit https://sf.net or https://bugzilla.mozilla.org
