User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.7) Gecko/20100723 Fedora/3.6.7-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.7 Build Identifier: 3.1.2 Description of problem: It used to be that I could highlight a number of messages in a folder and open them all at the same time; if it was more than a certain number (10-20, I don't really know which), I'd get a warning saying "opening multiple messages may take time, do you want to continue?" and if I said "yes" it would continue. I tried this today in TB 3.0.3, and found that if I have more than 9 messages highlighted, nothing happens when I try to open them -- no error message, no opened emails. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select more than 10 messages 2. Hit "enter". 3. Actual Results: Nothing. Expected Results: Either all of the highlighted messages should open, or an error message saying that this many messages cannot be opened at one time should appear. This bug has been previously reported on fedora's bugzill: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=574521

What settings do you want? I will provide them when I get home this evening.
This is the code that is in error: http://hg.mozilla.org/comm-central/annotate/c8b0e716441e/mail/base/modules/MailUtils.js#l286 The functions calls are assuming we've got a bundle by document.getElementById("bundle"), whereas we're actually getting it via an xpcom interface. Looks like a regression from bug 500657.

Doh. I only learned very recently that the getElementById and XPCOM bundle interfaces are different. I'll take this.

This can't be tested with our current window-helpers infrastructure because it doesn't support waiting for multiple windows at a time. I spent a little time working out a design for a rewrite of the window-helpers window watcher, but Standard8 and I both decided it's not really worth it just for this one bug.

The problem's also on 1.9.1 -- do we need to land this there, too?
