304280 - plug-ins are not loaded at startup of Firefox "((os/kern) invalid argument)"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 200945

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

Description

[Roland May]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050716 Firefox/1.0.6

I found that some plugins are not found at startup of Firefox, see extract of
Console log:
"*** loading the extensions datasource

/Applications/
other_applications/Internet/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin: can't map
file: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin ((os/kern) invalid argument)

/Applications/
other_applications/Internet/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin: can't map
file: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Java Applet.plugin ((os/kern) invalid argument)"

I have come across reports of the same message when looking with Google, but my
impression is that it has not been addressed here on Bugzilla.

I wonder whether this is not due to the fact that the paths above contain spaces.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Quit Firefox
2. Open Console
3. Restart Firefox




I wonder whether this bug has to do with the fact that Firefox gets very
slow/freezes after longer time of use.

I forgot to mention the important fact that the files mentioned
do exist:
% ls "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/AdobePDFViewer.plugin"
Contents
ls "/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Java Applet.plugin"
Contents

Fixing summary so it doesn't lead people astray and cause them to spam bug 200945 with Firefox extension issues.
