In browser_notifications_2.js, there's a bit of code: Assert.throws(notificationElement.button.doCommand(), "Can't add a login with a null or empty password.", "Should fail for an empty password"); There's two problems with this: - Assert.throws expects to be passed a function to be called rather than the result of the called argument. - The second argument is a string, rather than a regexp. When I correct the call, I get a missing expected exception. It appears that CustomizableUI is swallowing the doCommand somehow. This code did get re-arranged in bug 1217134. I suspect this check needs to be changed to something else, but I'm guessing. Matt, can you take a look at this please?

We can simply remove that Assert since it's out of place to test it here where the button is disabled and we have thorough tests for empty passwords in https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/passwordmgr/test/unit/test_logins_change.js#158-162
