I got the same error in the console on first launch using a new profile, no migration, but while I had no internet connection.

On XP it'S this line which throws the exception:

channel.contentType = "application/vnd.mozilla.maybe.feed";

Presumably this is from:

I was person who developed Comment #3 in Vista. Interested to notice Gavin Sharp's patch. I cannot use Firefox in Vista at present, because it seems best to uninstall it, after it always does as described. I wonder if patch could get it installed?

Any update on this bug so far? Gavin, what happened with the patch you attached half a year ago? Is it something we can use?

Comment 12

[:Gavin Sharp [email: [e-mail]]]

It likely fixes the bug. Confirmation would be useful, I don't think I've tested it. Someone taking this bug would be even better!

While running  Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1b3pre) Gecko/20090128 Shiretoko/3.1b3pre I am still seeing this error. But as Gavin notes in Comment 12, an owner is needed.

Robert, could this be a possible fix for the problem? It would be nice when we can eliminate the clutter from the Error Console.
