747245 - ASSERTION: "Oops! You're asking for a weak reference to an object that doesn't support that." when using BugzillaJS add-on

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: XPConnect, defect)

Description

[Chris Peterson [:cpeterson]]

I am testing BugzillaJS 2.0.3 with a Debug build of Nightly 14.0a1 (2012-04-19).

STR:
1. Install BugzillaJS 2.0.3 add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bugzillajs/
2. Using a Debug build, watch the firefox log then load any Bugzilla page, such as https://bugzilla.mozilla.org

ER:
No assertion failures.

AR:
Dozens of "You're asking for a weak reference to an object that doesn't support that" assertion failures.

Toggling BugzillaJS on and off makes these assertion failures go away.
