630593 - DocShell history gives NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY for useGlobalHistory

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Stover (:stechz)]

The error:

Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY) [nsIDocShellHistory.useGlobalHistory]"  nsresult: "0x8007000e (NS_ERROR_OUT_OF_MEMORY)"  location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/content.js :: init :: line 258"  data: no]

I don't think this error is related to memory.

We discovered this in Fennec: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630542.

According to mfinkle the error seems to happen here:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistory.cpp#413

I think we just need to IPCize the useGlobalHistory code to not init nsNavHistory.

More likely: 
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistory.cpp#1163

or :
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/places/src/nsNavHistory.cpp#453

The prefs service should work fine in the child process

Since the child process will not have nsNavHistory and Firefox/Fennec do not use it in docshell anyway, there is no need for the success of useGlobalHistory to be dependent on nsNavHistory init in this case.

With nsNavHistory out of the way, this fixes the errors for me.

Ben - Can you wipe up a small browser-chrome test in mobile-browser to make sure the history is actually being used. We should be able to steal something from the places tests to make a small test.
