2008-03-11 21:49:11 Daniel Hahler description Binary package hint: firefox I'm experiencing an "unknown error -203" during installation or update of extensions in firefox 1.99+2.0rc2+dfsg-0ubuntu1. The error seems to prevent installing new extensions, while despite the error updating existing extensions seems to work (at least they don't show up after a restart as updateable anymore). The error console shows: """ installLocation has no properties file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js line: 3849. """ This is also present in the upstream RC2 release. The patch is quite simple: """ --- /usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js.orig 2006-10-12 05:13:10.000000000 +0200 +++ /usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js 2006-10-12 05:28:20.000000000 +0200 @@ -3847,6 +3847,7 @@ // An item entry is valid only if it is not disabled, not about to // be disabled, and not about to be uninstalled. var installLocation = this.getInstallLocation(item.id); + if (! installLocation) continue; if (installLocation.name in StartupCache.entries && item.id in StartupCache.entries[installLocation.name] && StartupCache.entries[installLocation.name][item.id]) { """ (I'll also attach the patch) Binary package hint: firefox I'm experiencing an "unknown error -203" during installation or update of extensions in firefox 1.99+2.0rc2+dfsg-0ubuntu1.

The error console shows: """ installLocation has no properties file:///usr/lib/firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js line: 3849. """ This will be fixed for Firefox 3, according to comments upstream. WORKAROUND/FIX from comment: Delete (or better, rename/backup) the file extensions.rdf (from the profile folder). Firefox will recreate it when it is next started. This solved the problem for me. No need to create a new profile.
