(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[B.J. Herbison]

Steps to reproduce:
* Install the 24 April 2013 Nightly 23.
* Create a new profile.
* Start Nightly.
* Close the default initial tabs.
* Restart Nightly.
* Look in the error console.

Expected result:
* No errors in the console.

Actual result:
* The error console has the following four messages:


Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Nightly/chrome.manifest'.

Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Nightly/browser/extensions/%7B972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd%7D/chrome.manifest'.

After some timeout another message appears:

Warning: WARN addons.updates: Update manifest for {972ce4c6-7e08-4474-a285-3208198ce6fd} did not contain an updates property

The only chrome.manifest under my Nightly directory is Nightly/browser/chrome.manifest.

One of the errors is still present with the 1 June 2013 Nightly 24.0a1, along with others. I created a new profile, set the start page to about:blank, and restarted. The default configuration shouldn't produce an errors starting and loading about:blank.

I'm getting this with the live build of 23.0, on Windows 7 64-bit.  Alas!

I've been getting this error since 18.0, apparently.  Alas!

The behavior no longer occurs. Some change in the past three years fixed it.
