If function nsBrowserAccess.openURI() in browser.js is called, this results in the following error:

Error: gBrowser.loadURIWithFlag is not a function
Sourcfile: chrome://browser/content/browser.js
Zeile: 4139

Reproducible: Always




It seems to be, that function "loadURIWithFlag" has been renamed to "loadURIWithFlags". But it was missed to rename the function when it's called at the position mentioned above.

In my opinion, this bug is pretty serious, because every addon which calls "openURI" (and I guess there will be quite some) will fail.

In download manager, right click on an item, then "Go to download page", works on safe mode but fails with Tab Mix plus. Editing browser.js line 4174 adding the "s" fixes the problem.

This may have been a problem at the time of filing, but there are no references to "loadURIWithFlag" now.
