Bug Description

Binary package hint: adblock-plus

plugin wizard will show up, but when pushing next it will just appear and enter stage "finished" directly. This obviously prevents anything from getting installed.

I really think this needs to be fixed in the frontend code. The code is relying on a very bogus assumption, that the xbl ctor won't run until long after the node has been inserted in the tree and the xbl binding has been attached.

This work should be done in onload or some such, or move the node around so that the xbl-bound node is after the requested node.

jst and robert and I discussed this on IRC earlier. An easy workaround would be to have the reporter code use an onload listener to call initPrivacyNotice() for the first panel, rather than relying on the "onpageshow" pseudo-event that's fired from the wizard constructor.

That wouldn't fix other wizards that might also have this bug, though. I don't see a clean way to fix this in a generic way, since the dialog code can't tell whether or not the document is loaded yet (so it can't reliably defer calling event handlers until onload).

delay iframe loading

This is not nice, but fixes this bug.

There is something strange happening here. If I have ABP installed, I end up
with different DOM in the reporter dialog. It has only the first wizardpage
element. Does content policy (implemented in JavaScript) disturb XUL loading
somehow? Sounds like a bug which fixing bug 395609 somehow revealed.

If I don't any better way, I'll try delaying XUL frame loading until the
main document is fully loaded or something.

Delay initPrivacyNotice()

This is an alternative to Smaug's fix. This makes initPrivacyNotice() a no-op if called before the window is done loading, and makes the onload handler call initPrivacyNotice(). Seems to work here...

Robert/Gavin/Smaug, what do you think of either of these approaches?

update XBL even when not notifying

Jst, Jonas, as far as I see this bug has actually always been there.
Bug 395609 just made it visible in this case.
If XBL is bound to some element while content sink (without notifying) still
creates the DOM, XBL may not be up-to-date.
So, the idea in this patch is to update XBL if the parent of inserted/append
/removed node is somehow in XBL, even if aNotify is PR_FALSE.

The change to wizard.xml is needed to delay some initialization.
DOMContentLoaded is fired after initial reflow.

Passes mochitest, chrome and browser tests.
Initial testing shows that the special handling for XBL is called very rarely,
basically in FF UI only when opening 'ReportBroken' dialog.

If this is too scary (though shouldn't be that scary, and IMO is the right
thing to do), Jst's "delay" patch might be good enough.
And now it is really time to sleep :)

This one scares me a little. Even if it is the RightThing we know that our XBL usage is very shaky and even fixing true bugs often end up breaking things relying on those bugs.

Also, won't these notifications reach the bindingmanager eventually? The sink should notify on this content at some point, even though it might be SomeTimeLater? So if we notify manually now we'd cause the notification to happen twice.

Finally, is there any risk that notifying on the bindingmanager when aNotify is false could end up causing script to run?

I tried to go through those methods and they just update the data structures of
XBL bindings..

Well, here is anyway a patch which doesn't have the problem with
multiple notifications. NODE_MAY_BE_IN_BINDING_MNGR is used to optimize out
the common cases when notifying bindingmanager wouldn't do anything.

You can't go back to the privacy notice pane, so you can just move the call to initPrivacyNotice from the pane's onpageshow to the wizard's onload.

This will fix this specific instance of the bug, but it won't address other users of this widget that might rely on the document being "ready" when the constructor is called. It's hard to know how many potential users like that exist, but it would be nice to not break them... seems like smaug's patch would be better in this regard (although the dialog.xml change looks like it would break dialogs added after the document has loaded - perhaps not an important enough use case that we need to worry about it). I can't really evaluate the riskiness of it, though, so I'll defer to your judgement there.

What dialog.xml change?
<wizard> is expected (at least the code expects si) to be the root element, so
no new <wizard> elements after load.

But the problem is that the XBL code isn't updated properly if the binding
is attached to the <wizard> element too early. Use DOMi to see what the
non-anonymous code looks inside the binding.
Maybe re-binding XBL to <wizard> when DOMContentLoaded fires could help here.
That would be an ugly hack though.

smaug's right - this patch fixes the exception and makes the initial privacy pane work (by deferring the wizard events until DOMContentLoaded), but it's not sufficient. The wizard is still broken, because the document is missing wizardpage elements even after it has fully loaded.

I'd be pretty afraid of touching that XBL stuff, myself... It's very fragile, and not well tested. It's buggy in various ways, but we don't want to change those ways if we can avoid it, this late in the game.

It does seem like this would be a problem for anything in XUL that loads from content, though. Or for any XUL that uses an inline script. And I'm sure the lack of notifications in XUL also causes bugs in content lists, and so forth.

So really, we just need to fix XUL to notify properly... That's clearly not 1.9-scope, though.

The bug isn't about XUL not notifying properly but XBL not getting updated when
there have been some updates to DOM.

You need to have some JavaScript content policy installed - Adblock Plus or NoScript will do (minimal content policy has the same effect). Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure Quicktime plugin isn't installed and go to http://www.gottamovefaster.com/quicktime/
2. Click "Click here to download plugin" message
3. Wait for the wizard to offer you Quicktime and click Next.

The wizard simply disappears. Next wizard page would contain an iframe where the license terms of the plugin should load into.

It's looking like this may have broken Firebug's loading of a chrome HTML page in a xul:browser (the load is triggered from the load event of another xul:browser)? Bug 411814 has more details, would very much like anyone's help with it.

if you verified that this bug doesnt happen anymore with the packages

This is just a shot in the dark, but would this issue still effect FF after Adblock is uninstalled?
