Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Arne]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20051010 Firefox/1.0.7 (Ubuntu package 1.0.7)

Often, but not always, when clicking on a link this error appears in Javascript Console. Links in bugzilla do trigger error.

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS) [nsIXPCComponents.lookupMethod]"  nsresult: "0x80570009 (NS_ERROR_XPC_BAD_CONVERT_JS)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://global/content/XPCNativeWrapper.js :: anonymous :: line 91"  data: no]

It's a bit of a nuisance, 'cause the JS console gets filled up with these error messages. I suspect that's why my JS console often takes a loooong time to appear on my screen.

Reproducible: Sometimes
