changing summary to reflect that this happened while opening files while offline
(normally using a modem connection - this was disconnected at the time)

claudius/radha, either of you see this? not sure who'd own it...

Comment 3

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

also recently saw these exceptions being continually spewed while i'm in the
Preferences dialog. cc'ing anthonyd, the person who last touch lin 2137 in
navigator.js. dan, is this a backend pref issue that could be fixed?

Comment 4

[R.K.Aa.]

after looking more at this i think it's two different bugs.
the URLBarLeftClickHandler thingie is displaying each time i change focus
between windows - regardless of what i've done before.

The inability to open files while offline is probably "something completely
different".

[John Morrison]

The 'nsIPref.GetBoolPref' related exception is covered under bug #22163 (looks
like part of a patch didn't get properly checked in).

As far as the 'opening files while offline', I can do this without error on
linux (as well as on win32 and mac, although nsFilePicker.js is not used on
those platforms).

So this bug is part DUPLICATE, and part WORKSFOR(jrgm). Perhaps R.K. could open
a new bug on the offline issue, and leave the distraction of the missing pref
behind.

Verified dupe of reopened bug 22163: "on a mousedown focus change in text
fields, selection must be collapsed"
If you still see the WorkForMe part of this bug, please, feed a new bug.
