Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100401 Firefox/3.6.3 Glue/4.5 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

I was able to create a collection, but now I can't update it, because the login button in Add-on Collector 1.1.1 isn't working.

When I click it, a window appears, then disappears, then Add-on Collector 1.1.1 closes and I can't login.

By the way, since I'm talking to Mozilla Addons, I created a user script for Greasemonkey for the Mozilla Addons site. It doesn't need a visitor to log in, but lets the visitor mark addons read / unread and remembers the marks after the computer restarts (Imagine an extension. You install it and until it's uninstalled, it remembers information, so there is no login. In that way, my user script is like an extension)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tools
2. Addons
3. Addon Collector
4. Preferences
5. General Configuration
6. Login
Actual Results:  
Addon Collector closes and I can't login.

Expected Results:  
I would be asked for username and password to login, then be able to login.

What should happen is the prefs window closes and the Add-ons window opens below with the Subscriptions pane focused with a login form.

If you are not seeing this, please look in Tools-Error console and look for 'bandwagon' errors / messages.

When I click login, I get the error message:

Erro: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Illegal value"  nsresult: "0x80070057 (NS_ERROR_ILLEGAL_VALUE)"  location: "JS frame :: file:///home/deltrem/.mozilla/firefox/p5rqxjih.default/extensions/%7Be4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781%7D/components/greasemonkey.js :: anonymous :: line 124"  data: no]

Regarding my user script, finish it and link to it from the Mozilla Addons public site. I mean, make the mark read / unread feature official, no?

That's an unrelated error. Try disabling Greasemonkey and see what happens.

Now, it works.

Is there a way to make Add-on Collector and Greasemonkey compatible?

Comment 5

[Pedro Bessa]

By the way, Greasemonkey can be disabled in the list of addons, requiring Firefox restart or in the statusbar, ihstantaneously and both ways work.

I am not sure if this is a Collector, GM, or Firefox bug. Will look into it at some point, but not a priority.

Collector log in works for me with GM and this user script installed.
