With:
browser_default_open_target = OPEN_NEW_WINDOW;
any sort of content-initiated new window, e.g. target=_blank or
window.open() from JavaScript, results in no new window being created at
all (i.e. the attempt to create a new window appears to have no effect),
and the following error appearing in the jsconsole:
Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIDOMJSWindow.open]" nsresult: "0x80004005
(NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: javascript:window.open(); ::
<TOP_LEVEL> :: line 1" data: no]
It seems possible that the window is being partially created but not shown,
because after such an error occurs, merely closing the visible windows
doesn't cause the browser to exit.
I traced the problem to commit b432b8233d98df6aafb2382070cef2f63c239910,
which attempts to solve the missing scrollbar problem by setting the
content type to content-primary in window_initialize_late_hook. I assume
it is set in the hook, as opposed to not at all, specifically to try to
avoid the problem I am experiencing, but it evidently does not work for me
(I have observed this with both the release version of firefox-8 as an
xulrunner, and also with xulrunner 2.0).
Reverting that commit fixes the problem with opening windows; it would
probably also unfix the scrollbar issue if not for my use of the existing
workaround:
add_hook("window_initialize_late_hook",
function(window) {
window.buffers.get_buffer(0).top_frame.scrollbars.visible =
true;
});
I assume since this has gone unnoticed that others aren't experiencing the
same problem, but I wonder why. (Or maybe no one else has
browser_default_open_target set to OPEN_NEW_WINDOW.)
