When I use the Feed Viewer to preview a feed, neither the "Subscribe Now" button nor "Change Reader..." link work. Both give this error in the Error Console:

Error: this._window has no properties
Source File: file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/FeedWriter.js
Line: 370

In addition, the "Change Reader..." link gives this error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "this._window has no properties" {file: "file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/FeedWriter.js" line: 370}]' when calling method: [nsIFeedWriter::changeOptions]"  nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/feeds/subscribe.js :: SH_changeOptions :: line 54"  data: yes]

And the "Subscribe Now" button gives this error:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "'[JavaScript Error: "this._window has no properties" {file: "file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/FeedWriter.js" line: 370}]' when calling method: [nsIFeedWriter::subscribe]"  nsresult: "0x80570021 (NS_ERROR_XPC_JAVASCRIPT_ERROR_WITH_DETAILS)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/feeds/subscribe.js :: FH_subscribe :: line 58"  data: yes]

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter the feed's URL into your address bar
2. Try to click either the button or link
3. Nothing happens

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Presumably, a window will pop up with preferences or something. I don't know what it's supposed to do.
I'm assuming Ubuntu pulled from CVS before bug 342991 got fixed...
