(Mozilla Labs :: Jetpack Prototype, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 Fedora/3.5.3-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: Jetpack 0.5 on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 Fedora/3.5.3-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.3

After installing the add-on, I can't go to the various tabs in about:jetpacks.

When I click any of the tabs, I get an error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Jetpack
2.go to about:jetpack
3.click any of the tabs, Welcome, Develop, Installed Features, Memory Usage, Test Suite, Tutorial, API Reference.

Actual Results:  
for example clicking "Tutorial" gives me:
File not found
Firefox can't find the file at chrome://jetpack/content/jetpack.xul#tutorial.

Expected Results:  
Its supposed to show me the relevant tab for Jetpack

On trying to install any of the demo scripts from the home page, it tries to install jetpack again even though its already installed!

On doing a `locate jetpack.xul' I get nothing either. The file doesn't exist!

Let me know whether I can provide anymore information.

Please see bug 518170 for Jetpack build instructions, not sure why Jetpack is not working for you . I thought that we provided a 64 bit xpcom component.

Normally you have to build the XPCOM component if you are running a build of Trunk or 3.6 branch of Firefox.

Hi David,

After looking at it, I think this bug is a duplicate of bug 518170. You can close this bug if you agree. I will post my subsequent replies over there.

I looked at the build instructions on that bug report, but didn't understand any of the steps. I will try to figure it out and post over there.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
