344592 - "Failed to set Handler" error when no feed reader is selected

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 344279

(Firefox Graveyard :: RSS Discovery and Preview, defect)

Description

[Adam Guthrie]

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060710 Firefox/2.0b1

1. Create a new profile and go to http://slashdot.org/
2. Click on the RSS feed icon.
3. Look in the console.

I get this error:
*** Failed to set Handler: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getCharPref]"  nsresult: "0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///home/aguthrie/downloads/bonecho-beta1-rc3/components/FeedWriter.js :: FW__initSelectedHandler :: line 254"  data: no]

It's trying to get the browser.feeds.handler preference, but that doesn't exist yet because we haven't set it. 

My guess would be that we set that pref. here: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/components/feeds/content/options.js&rev=1.9#56  but that hasn't been called yet since we haven't actually opened the dialog.

Probably need to set a default for this pref. in firefox.js or something...

This isn't a bug, this is just diagnostic logging, which will be disabled by 344279
