I get the above error when tapping on a toggle button in about:config. The toggle does not change state. Tapping again works and no error is produced.

FWIW:

The first click generates a MouseEvent with originalTarget of a XULDocument. The XULDocument has baseURI : about:config. This has no parentNode.

The second (working) click generates a MouseEvent with originalTarget of an HTMLDivElement, and another MouseEvent with originalTarget of a XULElement. Both of these have a parentNode.

Summary: JavaScript error: chrome://browser/content/input.js, line 481: parentNode is null → JavaScript error: chrome://browser/content/input.js, line 481: parentNode is null (about:config)
Removing the insertBefore line at:

http://mxr.mozilla.org/mobile-browser/source/chrome/content/config.js#168

fixes this (although it breaks about:config as well). Something about moving this node is causing the next event to be retargeted on the document. We could do a few different things if we just want to kill the call. Rewrite about:config to use setting elements, or attach an editor row to every item in the list rather than moving this one around.

Vivien helped come up with this fix. Apparently we're hitting some race condition with something else watching for select. Wrapping in a setTimeout fixes things.
