Error: gBrowser is not defined
Source File: chrome://noscript/content/noscriptBM.js
Line: 96

Open: Tools -> Web Developer -> Error Console
Press 4-5 times Ctrl-B in main Firefox window. Everytime the bookmarks window is visible the above message is written to console.

I tried this out yesterday, and could reproduce it on NoScript 2.5.5. Just toggle the bookmarks bar and the error appears in the console.

Maybe caused by changes in recent Firefox versions? I'm guessing gBrowser is some kind of reference to a browser component...

Will try a clean profile today, which apparently fixed this bug for another user before, but I don't think that's the trouble.

Confirmed with a different profile. Doesn't seem to interfere with anything, just gives the error message.

The line in question, 96:

Code: Select all

        noscriptBM.handleURLBarCommandOriginal = gBrowser.loadURIWithFlags;

You mean the sidebar, correct? If so, it's just a nuisance (no effect but the error console noise) and will be gone in next build, thanks.

[therube]

Opening the sidebar & clicking on Bookmarks, or opening Bookmarks Manager directly will generate the Error.
(I only looked from the SeaMonkey side.)

Oh since I happened upon this today:

<RattyAway> Callek: the firefox gBrowser is a lazy getter. Ours [SeaMonkey] is not. So for SM cesar should use getBrowser() instead. [in firefox getBrowser() is a legacy compat wrapper for gBrowser]

While we're bumping the thread, I can confirm that this was fixed . @Giorgio: Yes, it was the bookmarks sidebar.
