329799 - Assertion Failed copying bookmark from bookmarks toolbar

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect, P2)

Description

[dolphinling]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060307 Firefox/1.6a1 

Trying to copy a bookmark from the bookmarks toolbar folder pops up a dialog with this text:

ASSERT: null node
Stack Trace:
0:PC_nodeIsFolder(null)
1:PC_wrapNode([xpconnect wrapped nsINavHistoryResultNode],text/x-moz-place)
2:generateChunk(text/x-moz-place)
3:()
4:oncommand([object MouseEvent])

This happened a few times, then went away, now is happening again (I forget what I did in between).

Can you reproduce this when running in safe mode? (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_Mode)

Comment 2

[dolphinling]

I don't even know how to reproduce it normally, yet. :-\ It's only happened twice so far, and it's not right now. I just know it wasn't a freak occurance because it happened twice.

If I *do* figure out how to reproduce, I'll of course test in safe mode.

this is a dupe, i just can't find it (you won't recognize it from the Summary)

Comment 4

[dolphinling]

When I get this, I also get something similar dragging a bookmark from the toolbar into content area:

ASSERT: null node
Stack Trace:
0:PC_nodeIsFolder(null)
1:PC_wrapNode([xpconnect wrapped nsINavHistoryResultNode],text/x-moz-place)
2:addData(text/x-moz-place)
3:PC_getTransferData(7)
4:TBV_DO_onDragStart([object MouseEvent],[object Object],[object Object])
5:([object MouseEvent],[object Object])
6:onxbldraggesture([object MouseEvent])

Should be Fixed, branch and trunk (323812)

Comment 6

[dolphinling]

Not fixed, I'm getting the exact same thing with 
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060412 Firefox/3.0a1

Comment 7

[dolphinling]

Haven't gotten this in a long time. -> WORKSFORME, if anyone gets it again please reopen.

Comment 8

[dolphinling]

Just got this again, 2006-06-10-04 linux trunk nightly.

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

confirming, but I'm not sure this is still a problem.  (but you'd need an --enable-places-bookmarks build to find out.)

Comment 10

[dolphinling]

Yeah, I was going to wait until places bookmarks came back in nightlies, and then if no one got it in a few months close it. Bugs like this are a pain. :(

Back to worksforme, I haven't seen this in ages.

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.
