When you visit a page with RSS feed just the top part with the controls is rendered but not the inline preview. The subscribe now button and the change reader link do not work, the "using:" text shows just the RSS icon. 

I've had similar problems with the latest trunk nightlies on Win XP over the last days.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://feedhouse.mozillazine.org/rss20.xml
2. click on subscribe now
3. click on change reader

Actual Results:  
The RSS feed isn't rendered in the inline preview, clicking on subscribe now and change reader doesn't open the selection window.

Expected Results:  
The RSS feed gets rendered in the inline preview, clicking on subscribe now and change reader opens the selection window, the "using:" shows the currently used reader.

Loading the page with the RSS feed leads to the following errors in the error console:

Error: chan has no properties
Source File: file:///Applications/BonEcho.app/Contents/MacOS/components/FeedWriter.js
Line: 328

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

Clicking on subscribe now:

Clicking on change reader:
