I wonder if this is a SeaMonkey (or Core or Toolkit or...) problem, or a ChatZilla problem. Martin, which version of ChatZilla are you using? (You can find it for instance on the "ChatZilla" line under "Extensions" on the page opened by "Help → Troubleshooting Information".) The current "stable" version is 0.9.92.
Flags: needinfo?(mmokrejs)
It's a strict error; pretty sure this is just because at some point nsICmdLineHandler got removed. The only mention in the tree is an implementation, the interface seems gone...
about:addons shows it is 0.9.92
Flags: needinfo?(mmokrejs)
NOT reproducible with en-US (German language pack) SeaMonkey 2.38 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:41.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/41.0 Build 20150923195647 (Classic Theme) on German WIN7 64bit, Chatzilla 0.9.92 But I get Chatzilla messages in Error console from time to time, for example Fehler: An error occurred updating the cmd_newlist command: [Exception...

(In reply to Rainer Bielefeld from comment #4) > Do you have real problems when using Chatzilla or do you only see error > messages (error console or where ever) I do not use chatzilla (broser+mailer only) so the message on STDERR I can ignore. However, it is difficult to get through all the messages and ignore some selectively, and I will forget this particular case in a few days. Fix it or drop it from the tree.
This interface was removed in bug 380786, which was basically the Firefox 4 / SM 2 timeframe, AFAICT. We should just drop all the code that references it.

Ah la la. Did you actually verify this no longer works, and indeed, that it worked before this patch landed? This interface hasn't been implemented for years now, see comment #7, and was replaced by other ones. I did not intend to remove anything that worked in this patch.

I don't really understand this statement, but as a "Firefox guy" it's a little offensive, Tony. :-\

After having seen the patch, I am surprised to see that in the following build it still works, even after installing the latest ChatZilla nightly, linked at the bottom of the post. > > > Morality: When will those Firefox guys stop throwing sticks across the steps > > of anyone extending them a helping hand (or, if you prefer a more > > mechanistic metaphor, wrenches into the cogs of anyone trying to work with > > them)?

But since my main argument falls flat on its face I'll fold away the comment you quoted. And BTW, I think of you more as a "ChatZilla guy" than as a "Firefox guy" and my beloved SeaMonkey wouldn't be SeaMonkey without ChatZilla. Similarly, when I come across Neil's or Callek's names in the list of Firefox, Core and Toolkit owners and peers it doesn't make me think less of them, whom I know primarily as "SeaMonkey guys".
P.S. I forgot to mention in which build I had tested it recently: UA:"Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:46.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/46.0" (en-US) ID:20160104030217 CSet:0771c5eab32f0cee4f7d12bc382298a81e0eabb2 and with the latest cZ nightly installed.
Only the last paragraph of my folded-out comment remains valid: as follows: @Martin Mokrejs: Do you still see these errors after upgrading to the latest ChatZilla nightly, found at http://james-ross.co.uk/mozilla/chatzilla/nightly/builds/0.9.92/2015122917/chatzilla-0.9.92-2015122917.xpi ? If you don't, you may mark this bug VERIFIED. (setting needinfo?)

Hi Tony, I am sorry for the ridiculous delay ... I started official 2.39 build binary from /usr/local/seamonkey and did the update of chatzilla using the XPI file. Therefore I assume chatzilla was updated under my ~/.mozilla/seamonkey. Addons-manager shows it was updated today. Unfortunately, "About Chatzilla" window still shows 0.9.92 (would be nice if nightly builds had some special version number instead). However, I do not see any messages logged in the logfile so I will close this as VERIFIED. If I try to run my site-wide seamonkey it probably always picks preferentially chatzilla from site-wide /usr/lib/seamonkey directory and ignores the update from ~/.mozilla/seamonkey. So, that system-wide seamonkey still emits this Javascript error but if it really ignores the addon in my ~/.mozilla/seamonkey then this does not prove anything else than that a sytem-wide provided old chatzilla wins over the users' specific version. Isn't the Javascript error reported only in debug-enabled builds? If yes it would mean I will never the message logged from the official seamonkey-2.39.en-US.linux-x86_64.tar.bz2 binaries (Nov 11 2015 21:25) even with a broken chatzilla ...
Status: RESOLVED → VERIFIED
In reply to comment #17: If you install the ChatZilla XPI from the latest subdirectory of http://james-ross.co.uk/mozilla/chatzilla/nightly/builds/0.9.92/ you will see its datestamp after 0.9.92 as part of its version string in the ChatZilla client tab, in the add-ons manager details pane, and on mouseover in the add-ons manager list pane, showing that add-ons you installed yourself take precedence over what came with SeaMonkey. (This "visible datestamp" feature is a result of the fix for bug 1242269.) In addition, the fact that Chatzilla comes bundled in the /distribution/extensions/ subdirectory of the installation directory (and not in extensions/) means that, when checking extension versions when a change of SeaMonkey version is noticed, the ChatZilla that comes bundled with the new version will be installed in your profile, but *only* if there isn't already a higher cZ version in that profile. Since 0.9.92.2016021216 is "higher" than just 0.9.92, the nightly will remain until such time as a 0.9.93 (or 0.10 or 1.0) is published, something which hasn't yet happened.
Please REOPEN, I still see JavaScript error: resource://gre/components/nsMailNewsCommandLineHandler.js, line 41: uncaught exception: 2147942487 even with chatzilla-0.9.92-2016021216.xpi from http://james-ross.co.uk/mozilla/chatzilla/nightly/builds/0.9.92/

I fixed the first part of your error message in comment 0: JavaScript strict warning: jar:file:///home/mmokrejs/.mozilla/seamonkey/mjpwg8sv.default/extensions/%7B59c81df5-4b7a-477b-912d-4e0fdf64e5f2%7D.xpi!/components/chatzilla-service.js, line 56: ReferenceError: reference to undefined property Components.interfaces.nsICmdLineHandler but not the other part - you should file a mail/news bug for that.
So I opened bug #1249963 without any clue what I am reporting, sigh. Thank you anyway for the note.
