Open cfinke opened 13 years ago

cfinke commented 13 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  1. Open, Use Feed Sidebar
  2. Close Feed Sidebar
  3. Close Firefox

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? Firefox to close normally without Error messages

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? 4.2.1

Please provide any additional information below. Each morning, the first thing I normally do, once I am able to get over to my desk to sit down, is open "Firefox" and then open "Feed Sidebar" to check the feeds of some particular feeds. When I'm done with "Feed Sidebar" I close it. When I get done perusing the feeds I close them out and then close "Firefox". When I close "Firefox" I get this:

[Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [mozIStorageStatement.execute]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://feedbar/content/overlay.js :: anonymous :: line 1112" data: no]

in the form of a dialog box, with an "OK" button centered below it. If I click "OK" it opens a new instance or session of "Firefox", but the dialog box remains and of course each time I click "OK" an new browser window appears, but the dialog box remains.

The only way I've found to get rid of this is to "KILL" the process. Since this dialog is coming from within Firefox I have to "KILL" "Firefox"; which, of course, gives me a new familiar dialog box, "Previous Session -or- New Session". I think we're all familiar with that dialog box at one point or another.

The first time this happened I installed a new version of "Firefox", 3.0.17, my current version, thinking that this was a "Firefox" issue and that a new version might help things. For a while it seemed like it helped, but then there it was again. I hadn't even considered "Feed Sidebar" at that point. I just don't have the time to jump through Mozilla's error reporting hoops, so it never got reported although I did search it both at Mozilla and Google it. Then I figured it just might be a "java" problem since I had just installed a new version of "java". I honestly did not try to figure out what it said in the dialog since that is all Greek to me, I thought perhaps you would understand it, but silly me as I'm sitting here writing this and half starring at the error message I realize that it plainly lists "feedbar" in the error content.

Perhaps I should uninstall "Feed Sidebar" and then reinstall it. I will do that after I 'm done sending this off. I will also be installing the most current version of "Firefox", at least the 3.0 version. I'm still nervous about doing a full upgrade and very little time to research it. I have lots to do and very little time to do it. Sound familiar? Well, it doesn't get any easier as you get older. But I will make the time to completely uninstall "Feed Sidebar" and "Mozilla Firefox" and then new installs of both and see how that works.

Anyway, as time went by I started noticing that I was getting the dialog only when I accessed certain sites or pages. I still hadn't linked "Feed Sidebar" to the issue. Then one day I realized that one site in particular was causing it. And that's when I realize that I only accessed that site, that page with "Feed Sidebar". So I closed out "Firefox", brought up a new browser window, opened "Feed Sidebar", then closed it without accessing any feeds, and then closed "Firefox" and sure enough there was that pesky dialog box. I did the same thing several more times just to make sure and sure enough "Feed Sidebar" was the culprit, as much as I hate to admit it; never had a problem with it before. Well, except for the fact that it used to open up with the folders closed and only show the instances of the newest feeds. Now it opens with the folders wide open. But that's the name of that tune. I hope all this information helps you out and anyone else who may be having this problem and still hasn't figured out it's Feed Sidebar.

Thank you, for your most valuable time concerning this matter and without question the outstanding extensions, addons you have provided for us.
