I tried to clear the history within the privacy panel of the preferences dialog. Following exception occurs: Error: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsISHistory.PurgeHistory]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml :: observe :: line 637" data: no] Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/browser.xml Line: 637 The referenced part of browser.xml is var purge = this.sessionHistory.count; if (this.currentURI != "about:blank") --purge; // Don't remove the page the user's staring at from shistory this.sessionHistory.PurgeHistory(purge); <- Exception

Gavin, that's definetly not a dupe and also not fixed! I can still see it with my cvs build Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20051101 Firefox/1.6a1

This happens all the time? What are the exact steps to reproduce? Is there anything unusual about your profile?

(In reply to comment #3) > This happens all the time? What are the exact steps to reproduce? Is there > anything unusual about your profile? Yes, everytime when the global history was filled with entries. I only had to clear the history within the privacy page within the preferences. Today I built a fresh version out of CVS cause my last version was a bit too old. And what should I say. Same profile, same steps and no exception is raised. I think, that I will close the bug as WFM until I see it again within the next days.
