- launch mozilla and get a browser window
- click the composer icon in the main window
- hit cmd-q to quit.

expected results:
- app quits

actual results:
- browser and editor windows close but a JS error is encountered which stops the 
shutdown process:

JavaScript Error: null
URL: chrome://global/content/globalOverlay.js
LineNo: 33
Simon found out that this is also broken on Linux and I think it was Charley who 
told me Windows also has this problem.

Ben, can you figure who should get this bug?  Travis maybe?

Assignee: don → ben
Priority: P3 → P1
don says to give to travis...

apparently failing in the QI to nsIAppShellService
Assignee: ben → travis
Is this really travis? It seems more like a bill law xpapps problem to me.
This is quite tricky. It seems that after all windows have been closed in the 
call to goQuitApplication(), the JS context in which the script is running has 
gone away, so we get a failure on the next line of the script (even if it's just 
a dump()).

Perhaps we need to call into C++ to quit?
Move to M16 for now ...
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be 
updated.
I'm not seeing this on windows. is is still a problem?
Hardware: All → Macintosh
I believe this works now. sujay, please test.
