(Toolkit Graveyard :: Error Console, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050908 Firefox/1.4

When examing Javascript errors in in JS console, I can click on a linkk to see
the error. However, if I try to follow a second link, the link will not open.
Worse, when the JS console and browser windows are closed, there is still a copy
of firefox.exe hanging around in the Task Manager, fouling some subsequent tasks
like updating a theme. It will, however, allow the browser to be reopened.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open JS console.
2. Select a Javascript error.
3. Follow the link.
4. Select another Javascript error.
5. Follow that link.

Actual Results:  
Could not follow second link.
When all visible browser windows and JS console windows closed, a copy of
firefox.exe was still running in Task manager.

Expected Results:  
Follow each subsequent error link.
When all visible browser windows and JS console windows closed, no copies of
firefox.exe should be running in Task manager.

Bug also present in trunk build, 2005-09-09-2302.

can you reproduce the bug using a clean profile?

I apologize. I am unable to reproduce this bug in a clean profile. I should have
checked this before filing. This bug IMO is invalid.

Yes, but the issue is an interesting one, if you can come up with a more
technical description of what is causing that, feel free to reopen.

An extension was causing the problem: TextPlain 1.1.2, which was no longer
working anyway. Text Plain allowed you to take plain text and open it directly,
open it in a new tab or open it in a new page. It did not generate links on the
page, as linkification does.

In any case, this version disables part of the JS Console function.
