380232 - occasionally not able to open the bookmarks dialog or subscribe to a feed url (using live bookmarks) [Remote chrome not allowed]

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

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

occasionally not able to open the bookmarks dialog or subscribe to a feed url (using live bookmarks)

I'm using my own Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070508 Minefield/3.0a5pre trunk debug build, with places bookmarks enabled.

(maybe this has something to do with how I'm "spot" re-building only part of the tree in between changes?)

steps to reproduce, when it happens:

1)  go to http://planet.mozilla.org/rss20.xml
2)  attempt to subscribe to the feed using live bookmarks.

alternate steps:

1)  I have seen this problem when attempting to bookmark a link.

on my console I see:

WARNING: Remote chrome not allowed! Only file:, resource:, and jar: are valid.
: file c:/builds/trunk-no-places/mozilla/chrome/src/nsChromeProtocolHandler.cpp,
 line 565

for the scenario where I fail to see the add bm dialog when attempting to bookmark a link, I see the following in the debugger:

result is a 
nsCachedChromeChannel and aURI is chrome://browser/content/places/bookmarkPageDialog.xul

here's a stack:

just ran into this again.

Seth, I had the same problem. Subscribing to a live bookmark wont work. The error console showed me some warnings. Also one from toolbar.xml. I patched my local file and it is working now. I'll also try to remove the remaining js strict warnings. I could supply a patch.

Comment 3

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Sorry, after talking to Asaf this should be another issue.

Comment 4

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

Only for information I get both dialogs with my debug build Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070520 Minefield/3.0a5pre

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

see bug #381720 comment #0 for a reproducable way to run into this bug.

hopefully drivers agree this is a a5 blocker.

Comment 11

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

even simpler steps to reproduce:

1)  create a new profile
2)  right click on the "Getting Started" bookmark on the personal toolbar an chose "Properties"
3)  change the name to "foo bar"
4)  Bookmark | Bookmark this Page (for the first run page "http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.0a5pre/firstrun/")

the bookmark dialog will not come up.

this patch does not fix the bug, using the new reproduction steps.

also, note that cmd+d works as well for reproduction.

I'm running my own trunk debug build:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070524 Minefield/3.0a5pre

note to dietrich / mano:  I am not sure that fix is going to solve this problem.  as dietrich reports, I also applied and rebuilt browser and didn't fix it.  trying again after completely removing the .jar file, in case that matters.

fyi:  after a clobber and rebuild, this patch seems to be working for me.

fix v2

So I would bet the reason this didn't work the first time is the mis-updated browser.manifest :( We should either fix this for real (now that we have STR); or rev the file name so it doesn't collide with the current broken URI.

I don't think this is right... we really ought to recurse, and so the remote-chrome check should be altered to allow us to do that, rather than trying to do it in ConvertChromeURL.

hrm, this doesn't seem to work right.

Comment 22

[Asaf Romano (gone)]

So, discussing this with Benjamin, we're going to do the jar.mn change for a5 instead.

Dietrich, can you update that patch to also rev the second file name, then we can be sure current profiles don't get broken as a result of this change.

Asaf, rev the second file name, or the first?  It seems like we would want to rev the name of the alias (bookmarkPageDialog.xul).

Can you elaborate?

[Gervase Markham [:gerv]]

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.
