In the preferences dialog, if i select "Web Features" the "OK" button stops
working (no matter what theme i am using).
This is very annoying since to change anything on "Web Features" i must do it
with "about:config" because the OK button to confirm any changes simply doesn't
work. The Cancel button keeps working fine.
The OK button doesn't work not even if later i select a different section of the
preferences dialog. To make it work again i must close the preferences dialog
through CANCEL or the top-right "X", reopen the preferences dialog and pay a lot
of attention to not select "Web Features" for mistake.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the preferences dialog
2. Select "Web Preferences"
3. Click on the "OK" button
Actual Results:
Nothing happens, the OK button simply doesn't work anymore until the preferences
dialog is closed and reopened.
Expected Results:
Close the preferences dialog and save the changes.

Do you have entries in the blocked popups list with port numbers? If so, please
remove them, test again, and report the error that appears in the javascript
console.
I did as you said and it works now... just... why?
What has this to do with the web-features page of preferences?
Thanx,
Luca

in short, the definition of a valid nsIURI changed between 0.7 and 0.8, making
the port no longer part of the valid value. You can't enter them like that any
more, but old entries can cause problems.
When you hit ok after being on that page, the function checks the sites in the
list and adding the ones that don't already exist. However, when it tries to
parse the invalid value, it throws an exception and the function bails.
So this only affects lists from 0.7 or earlier, no new users/entries will cause
the problem.
