Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]"  nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: http://www.whereverthisoccurs.com/anyscript.js :: profile :: line 157" data: no]




Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
This error happens on all websites - after working properly under exactly the same conditions for a while, it simply stops working, with no warning, and for no reason, even on links where it did work five minutes previously.




The only way to get JS window.open to work again is to reboot Firefox.  It then works fine, for a while, til it gives up again.

This looks like Bug 309775. If it is the same, it should be repaired in the latest builds. You can try it out: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla1.8/

Bug still remains, despite being fobbed off with assurances to the contrary.  Have therefore uninstalled beta and gone back to 1.07

Why reopen the bug, then? If you've gotten rid of it already, we have no way of helping you make sure you installed a nightly build recent enough to have gotten the fix (since it was after 1.5b2, "beta" makes me suspect you had one from before it was fixed), or of discovering that it was something other than a duplicate.
