305237 - "No chrome package registered for chrome://..." warning appears in the JavaScript console when an extension is disabled

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 305049

(Toolkit :: Add-ons Manager, defect)

Description

[Stefano Mazzocchi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050712 Firefox/1.0+

When an extension is disabled, the JavaScript console shows a warning that
indicates that the chrome:// URL associated with the icon used to identify the
extension cannot be found. This also implies that a disabled extension will
never have it's own icon but would always show the default 'puzzle piece' icon.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. disable an extension
2. reload firefox
3. open the javascript console
4. open the extension pane
5. (if the warning didn't show up, click on the disabled extension)

Actual Results:  
the warning appears, sometimes you have to click, sometimes it appears by itself
(I guess it depends on some caching)

Expected Results:  
The behavior I expected is that it should display the right extension icon even
when it's disabled (it should only gray it out), but at least it should avoid
triggering a warning about missing a registed extension when I disabled it myself.
