Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox for Metro Graveyard :: General, defect)

Guessing this is the installer since it started recently. Might be in the ceh as well.

On startup we get a set of launch parameters that are a broken up path:

MetroAppShell::Run
XPCOM startup initialization complete
mozilla::widget::winrt::FrameworkView::SetWidget
MetroWidget::FindMetroWindow
mozilla::widget::winrt::FrameworkView::SetupContracts
Activation argument kind: Launch
Launch arg[0]: 'C:\Program'
Launch arg[1]: 'Files'
Launch arg[2]: '(x86)\Nightly\firefox.exe'
[JavaScript Error: "[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI) [nsICommandLine.resolveURI]"  nsresult: "0x804b000a (NS_ERROR_MALFORMED_URI)"  location: "JS frame :: jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Nightly/metro/omni.ja!/components/BrowserCLH.js :: resolveURIInternal :: line 25"  data: no]" {file: "jar:file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Nightly/metro/omni.ja!/components/BrowserCLH.js" line: 25}]

The odd thing here is that we don't launch firefox.exe, Windows does. So maybe windows is picking something up it shouldn't from the reg.

Jim are you still seeing this? I haven't seen this when i was working on similar code recently.
