Package: iceweasel
Version: 32.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I maintain zotero-standalone which previously depended on xulrunner. Since
iceweasel 30 xulrunner is
nomeore built and tehrefore I start the application with firefox -app. The
application runs fine but when
the preference pane is launched it is empty and the js console reports this
error:
Error: NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff
(NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getBoolPref]
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml
Line: 593
when I run the application with xulrunner from mozilla website everything works
fine.
This problem arises with every version since 30.
I have no clue about what the possible problem is and would like to fix it
before the freeze because not setting the
preferences is quite frustrating and results in zotero sa with limited usage.
Cheers
Mike

Version: 115.12.0esr-1+rm
src:iceweasel has been superseded by src:firefox-esr in version
45.0esr-1 in March 2016. Transitional packages to ease upgrades were
provided in the wheezy, jessie, stretch and buster releases. The
transitional packages have been removed finally before the bullseye
release in August 2021.
After regular security support for buster ended in August 2022 and LTS
support ended in June 2024, I'm closing the remaining bug reports now.
