The summary page is blank after configuring an account in the wizard. The error console displays that protoLabel is null, which it uses to populate the summary. This error was introduced by bug 954826 (bio 1391) removing the protoLabel from accountWizard.xul.

This restores the protoLabel which is referenced when the summary page is shown. The localized string is also replaced.

Hmm...would it make more sense to change the code around [1] to reference the proper element instead of depending on this hidden label's value?

(I.e. getting the protocol list itself from protolist and seeing what is selected on it. Taking into account that it could be protolist of topprotolist.)

After talking to wnayes on IRC, I'm fairly certain that this patch makes sense, but I'm hesitant to r+ it without trying it (and not knowing this code very well).

This patch has the summary pull the "Protocol:" string from the accountWizard.properties file, removing the need for the hidden label.

I like neither of the 2 proposed patches. I'm proposing a third solution: putting the protocol string next to the one used for the username. Will, would you like to look at that patch?
