677789 - Checking for addons updates doesn't work.

Status: RESOLVED INACTIVE

(Mozilla Labs :: Labs Pack, defect)

Description

[Francesco]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:7.0a2) Gecko/20110808 Firefox/7.0a2
Build ID: 20110808042002

Steps to reproduce:

Whenever i try to check for addons updates:
I open the addons manager with ctrl+shift+a
click on the tools menu with the gear icon
click on 'check for updates'



Actual results:

I have the addons updates set to manual.
I don't get any updates and remain the phrase "addons updating in progress" (or somenthing similar, my firefox isn't in english).

This is what i get in the error console:
Avviso: WARN addons.manager: Exception calling callback: TypeError: Utils.delay is not a function
File sorgente: resource:///modules/XPIProvider.jsm -> jar:file:///C:/Users/Frank/AppData/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/9amx6tui.default/extensions/[e-mail]!/bootstrap.js
Riga: 413

If i close Firefox7a and open Firefox6beta with the same profile and check for updates i get regular response.

I could not reproduce the issue.
Could you be more specific in the steps to took to encounter this issue?like what add-ons are you talking about.
Try starting Firefox with a new clean profile:

Get back with a post if it still occurs.
Thanks!

An extension creates that error as you can read.
"[e-mail]": Is that a Mozilla labs extension ?

Yes the problem is the extensions "Mozilla Labs: Lab Kit 3" (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/mozilla-labs-lab-kit/)

There is also another comment on the above link about this bug.

The problem exist with Firefox 7.0a2, with Firefox 6 beta and previous version all runs smoothly.
