This looks similar to an error I've seen when referencing Component.classes. In 
that case, it was an observer that hadn't been unregistered on a window before 
that window closed. Perhaps your problem is related.

Subject: [Project_owners] Error reading preferences






Hello,



I'm trying to read preferences in my Firefox 2.0 extension and I'm
pretty new to it, but I ran into some problems. I get a permission
denied on unnamed class exception in my Error Console. This is what I
do:

var prefs = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/preferences-service;1"]

                       
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIPrefService)

                       
  .getBranch("extensions.errorfox.);




When it gets executed from my extension, is doesn't work:

Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get
property UnnamedClass.classes




When I execute the javascript straight from the chrome, it works. So
about:netError
doesn't work, but
chrome://errorfox/content/netError.xhtml
works.

I tried putting the javasource in the .xhtml file or in a separate
chrom://errorfox/content/errorfox.js file, but that didn't make any
difference.

I tried fiddling with XPCNativewrapper setting in my chrome.manifest,
but that didn't seem to help either.



My extension is an extension for Firefox's errorpage, and the errorpage
is loaded with LOAD_BACKGROUND.

Does anyone know if that can cause my problems?

And if it does, is there a workaround?

Maybe I can try to execute this function with a timer or something?

Can code signing help me? And if it can, should I sign the javacode or
should I sign my extension?



Onno
