451395 - ASSERTION: aFileExt shouldn't start with a dot

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 416743

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

Not sure which component this belongs to. The assertion happens in uriloader/exthandler/unix/nsGNOMERegistry.cpp, line 118.
I don't know if the function should be able to handle the dot or not or if the caller is wrong.

aIconURI->GetFileExtension(fileExt);

Comment 1

[Blake Kaplan (:mrbkap) (inactive)]

fwiw, the rest of the function appears to cope fine after the assertion.

This looks extremely similar to bug 416743 based on the stack. Dupe?
