Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:22.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/22.0 SeaMonkey/2.19a1 ID:20130321003001 c-c:8a50d60dd7a0 m-c:1d6fe70c79c5 Clicking "Install Add-on from File…" in the rolldown widget near top right of the add-on manager page does nothing. In particular, no XUL file selector appears. (Bug is only present with ui.allow_platform_file_picker set to false in about:config, which is not the default) This did not happen yesterday. Message in the error console: Error: NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80570015 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.createInstance] Source file: chrome://mozapps/content/extensions/extensions.js Line: 1046

P.S. IIUC, that pref is Linux-only, see http://kb.mozillazine.org/Ui.allow_platform_file_picker and bug 333653
It seems like I can't get a XUL file picker anywhere anymore. Maybe this bug needs to be moved, or else additional bugs filed for every place where the XUL file picker has disappeared.
