401703 - Failure to open Add ons Manager in debug build

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 401612

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

Attempting to open the Add ons Manager fails in Linux trunk debug builds but succeeds on Linux opt and Windows/Mac opt and debug builds.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Click Tools.
2. Click Add-ons.

Expected Result:

Add-ons Manager opens

Actual Result:

Add-ons Manager does not open and the following appears in the error console:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0xbf972704 [nsIDOMJSWindow.openDialog]"  nsresult: "0xbf972704 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/browser.js :: BrowserOpenAddonsMgr :: line 4702"  data: no]

I'm not sure when this regressed but I could reproduce it with this morning's debug builds evening after clobbering/rebuilding and rm -fR the objdir and rebuilding.

hmmm, maybe more general than just the addons mgr since Help->About Minefield is giving 

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0xbf972914 [nsIDOMJSWindow.openDialog]"  nsresult: "0xbf972914 (<unknown>)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/utilityOverlay.js :: openAboutDialog :: line 318"  data: no]
