Hi,
Using MCD (aka autoconfig), it is not possible to create a prompt with the nsIPromptService. This is very useful to ask the user for its email and then get some specific parameters.
It works fine with TBird 2 but fails in TBird 3 with the following error message:
Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPromptService.prompt]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: <unknown filename> :: _displayPrompt :: line 201" data: no
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Reproductible in Windows too, so seems to be not related to #400810
1. Configure MCD, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/MCD for example.
2. Try to open a prompt (or an other window anyway) in the autoconfig.js file:
const promptService = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/embedcomp/prompt-service;1"].getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPromptService);
promptService.prompt(null, title, text, input, null, {});
Actual Results:
The window is not opened and the following error can be caught:
Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIPromptService.prompt]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: <unknown filename> :: _displayPrompt :: line 201" data: no
Expected Results:
The prompt should be opened.
After some debugging, it seems that it is the call to sm->GetSubjectPrincipal in nsWindowWatcher.cpp:591 that is failing, but I can't see why either this call is failing or it is needed.

Raphaël Ouazana.

GetSubjectPrincipal is needed to give the new window the right security context, in general.
I wouldn't expect it to fail if the window open comes from JavaScript. But maybe something in the MCD code is messing with security contexts?

Is there any way to explicitly define the principal in the script (eventually as anonymous)?

Not really, no. If there's script on the stack, its principal should be used....

I just tested this with the latest Thunderbird (and Firefox) and it is working for me.
Can you try with the latest build?
