473409 - crash after clicking on any feed when safari is not installed [@ libobjc.A.dylib@0x1568c - nsLocalFile::SetBaseRef]

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Firefox Graveyard :: RSS Discovery and Preview, defect)

Description

[Dietrich Ayala (:dietrich)]

crash report: http://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/4625fa10-1760-43b1-a1f2-a617d2090113

code: http://bonsai.mozilla.org/cvsblame.cgi?file=mozilla/browser/components/shell/src/nsMacShellService.cpp&rev=1.18&mark=515#515

a friend was crashing firefox 3.0.5 anytime he clicked the feed icon. turns out he'd completely deleted Safari.app, the default handler for the "feed" scheme on OSX.

i installed the app below, and found that the default "feed" scheme handler on his box was "disabled". we changed it to Firefox.app, and the crashing went away.

With no comments in 6 years and the following, I'd think this issue no longer exists.

A significant number of bugs fixed since 2009-01-13 related to nsLocalFileOSX https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?f1=short_desc&o3=anywordssubstr&list_id=12777283&o1=nowordssubstr&resolution=---&resolution=FIXED&resolution=DUPLICATE&classification=Client%20Software&classification=Components&op_sys=Windows%20ME&op_sys=Mac%20System%207&op_sys=Mac%20System%207.5&op_sys=Mac%20System%207.6.1&op_sys=Mac%20System%208.0&op_sys=Mac%20System%208.5&op_sys=Mac%20System%208.6&op_sys=Mac%20System%209.x&op_sys=Mac%20OS%20X&chfieldto=Now&chfield=resolution&chfield=bug_status&query_format=advanced&chfieldfrom=2009-01-13&f3=short_desc&f2=OP&longdesc=nsLocalFileOSX&longdesc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Core&product=Firefox

I did not find any bug reports with comments citing nsMacShellService::GetDefaultFeedReader. FWIW, these closed bug reports contain GetDefaultFeedReader
bug 368776 Feed Preview is broken if Safari is the default reader	
bug 358492 List default feed reader on OS X
