327315 - On second run the places bar and bookmarks menu is blank

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 327318

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

If you start places with a new profile (or a profile untouched with places) then it correctly shows bookmarks on the bar and menu. The second time you run though the places bar and bookmarks menu are empty and the following errors show up in the console:

Error: Component returned failure code: 0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.getService]

Bug 451915 - move Firefox/Places bugs to Firefox/Bookmarks and History. Remove all bugspam from this move by filtering for the string "places-to-b-and-h".

In Thunderbird 3.0b, you do that as follows:
Tools | Message Filters
Make sure the correct account is selected. Click "New"
Conditions: Body   contains   places-to-b-and-h
Change the action to "Delete Message".
Select "Manually Run" from the dropdown at the top.
Click OK.

Select the filter in the list, make sure "Inbox" is selected at the bottom, and click "Run Now". This should delete all the bugspam. You can then delete the filter.
