Now that we have error messages from JS components again (bug 415498) I'm
seeing this in the console on startup when running mochitests:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE) [nsIPlacesImportExportService.importHTMLFromFile]"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///src/mozilla/trunk/cyclecollector/mozilla/compiled/browser-debug/dist/MinefieldDebug.app/Contents/MacOS/components/nsBrowserGlue.js :: bg__initPlaces :: line 429"  data: no]

This will keep some initialization code from running.

The failing line is here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/browser/components/places/src/nsPlacesImportExportService.cpp#2231

Looks like this just needs to be converted to a try/catch instead of try/finally. See patch.

r=me otherwise

With a Cu.reportError as requested.

Drivers, simple fix that cleans up our error console on mochitest runs.

I won't be able to check this in until Tuesday, so if someone else could do it before then that would be awesome.

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.
