Mozilla 1.3beta/Linux-i686. When trying to install xpi file using network installation, I get confirmation dialog, and then installation dialog. However, the progress bars are not moving, despite network monitor showing download activity. This activity end after a while, the dialog just stays there and you actually have to kill mozilla to get rid of it. Repeatable: always. This is not happening in 1.3a Also got confirmation from Biesi/#mozilla that it happens for him under Windows. He's using something between 1.3a and 1.3b.

I was using a build from about a week ago. also, if it is not clear, the XPI from the above URL is meant.

We've been seeing the same thing with 1.3b builds. In addition to that the InstallTrigger.install method seems to be affected. When downloading multiple XPIs it just silently dies. I saw it waiting on the XPI certificate in the debugger. The certificate just never arrives due to this hanger...

Seems like the original checkin on January 17 for bug 176919 is the root cause for this issue. I can't pinpoint the exact location and don't have conclusive evidence, I did confirm however that the problem started occurring after January 17. The change in bug 176919 is the most likely candidate for the XPI hangers we have been seeing with 1.3b.

Ok, I think it's time to nominate this as a 1.3final blocker.

Oops, that was supposed to be "?", not "+".

Darin, can you look at this and see if your work at bug 176919 is responsible?

will do

I'd say this is blocking given the popularity of themes and other mozdev add-ons.

WFM using a debug linux build from CVS (a few days old); however, my build includes my patch for bug 193267. i wonder if that could have fixed this. at any rate, i was able to successfully install enigmail. i'm going to try today's nightly build to see what happens there.

WORKSFORME linux 2003021808 trunk.

Confirming Darin's resolution with a fresh pull. Thorgal, could you please verify?

Yes, 2003021808 is working for me, too.

marking verified - thanks everyone!
