Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Firefox/3.6.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100713 Firefox/3.6.7

the setTarget function does not check if anode exists but

    if (aNode.namespaceURI == xulNS ||
        this.isTargetAFormControl(aNode)) {
      this.shouldDisplay = false;
    }

For me anode is null once per browser start

I suggest to change to:

    if (!aNode || aNode.namespaceURI == xulNS ||
        this.isTargetAFormControl(aNode)) {
      this.shouldDisplay = false;
    }

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I think not easy to reproduce because it happens with an large addon environment.

I think since there obviously are cases where anode really is null, it should be fixed anyways.
Actual Results:  
Exception loggedto console (anode is null)

Expected Results:  
No exception polluting the otherwise clean logfile
