after the first error I then get:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "ServiceManager::GetService returned failure code:"  nsresult: "0x80570016 (NS_ERROR_XPC_GS_RETURNED_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/places/toolbar.xml :: _init :: line 82"  data: no]

once again it's due to db corruption!

c:\Temp>s3 bookmarks_history.sqlite
Analyzing table moz_anno...
ERROR: SQLITE_CORRUPT
SQLITE_CORRUPT
    while executing
"btree_next $csr"
    ("foreach" body line 30)
    invoked from within
"foreach {name rootpage} [db eval $sql] {
  puts stderr "Analyzing table $name..."

  # Code below traverses the table being analyzed (table name $name..."


isn't there a way to report sqlite errors to the user or console?

Are you sure this isn't the same as bug 336990? I bet it is. It is triggered by deleting a livemark.

[Wayne Mery (:wsmwk)]

Henrik, is it the same?

Comment 5

[Henrik Gemal]

not sure how I got the corruptions. Dupe if you like... :)

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

Duping given comments, please file a new bug if a new corruption issue arises (there's been enough major surgery performed here that its unlikely to be the same bug ;))

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.
