Description John Shaw 2004-09-30 20:34:37 UTC
Ever since I moved to firefox 1.0_pre I've been getting these g.xulUT errors in chrome://global/content/commonDialog.xul.  I've looked through other bugs that I thought would fix this to no result so far.  I gathered the problem was with using the old chrome.rdf or compreg.dat which was suppose to be fixed with mozilla-launcher-1.21.  Just to check I went ahead and move them out myself again and I still am having these errors.

Sites that cause a particular problem are the phpmyadmin site and the cups web interface, both which I am using off the newest ~86 gentoo packages.  

Since the errors still persist, I think I must be having another problem here from what was previously reproted.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to many different websites with firefox.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
With many sites I just get one error, which once closed doesn't cause a problem 
anymore.  With the cups interface specifically I get a persistant error 
requiring me to kill firefox. 

Expected Results:  
Worked....

Comment 1 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-15 13:56:31 UTC
Fixed in mozilla-launcher-1.20:

  27 Sep 2004; Aron Griffis <agriffis@gentoo.org>
  +mozilla-launcher-1.20.ebuild:
  Update to 1.20, marked ~arch, to remove compreg.dat on first run of a new
  version #63999

Later versions of mozilla-launcher also remove other problematic files.
Comment 2 Aron Griffis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-11-16 13:16:01 UTC
Sorry, my previous comment ignored that you had already tried deleting compreg.dat and chrome.rdf.  I suspect the problem was another cache file in your profile.  Recent versions of mozilla-launcher remove additional known-problematic files when firefox is updated, but if that doesn't work, there's little I can do.

Best I can suggest is cleaning your profile completely, which will almost undoubtedly solve the problem:

quit firefox
mv .mozilla/firefox .mozilla/firefox-$(date +%Y%m%d)
firefox
