unable to bookmark a page (with --disable-places) this is with my debug, mac os x, trunk build: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060924 Minefield/3.0a1 when I follow these steps: http://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=1263 when the dialog comes up, I get: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception...

additionally, I can't bookmark a group of tabs (see http://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=1258) I get the same errors in the console.

additionally, I can't create a bookmark keyword search (for similar reasons) see http://litmus.mozilla.org/show_test.cgi?id=1788

from gdb: ###!!! ASSERTION: null ptr: 'aContainer != nsnull', file /Users/sspitzer/Desktop/trunk-no-places/mozilla/rdf/base/src/nsRDFContainer.cpp, line 160 we are calling RDFContainerImpl::Init() with null for the second arg: RDFContainerImpl::Init(nsIRDFDataSource *aDataSource, nsIRDFResource *aContainer)

I've tried with a new profile, and I'm not seeing these problems, so something might be horked with my profile.

invalid, but odd. my profile had symbolic links pointing to a (no longer) existing tree: lrwxrwxrwx 1 sspitzer sspitzer 85 Jun 15 15:43 localstore.rdf -> /Users/sspitzer/Desktop/bonecho2/mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/profile/localstore.rdf lrwxrwxrwx 1 sspitzer sspitzer 88 Jun 15 15:43 mimeTypes.rdf -> /Users/sspitzer/Desktop/bonecho2/mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/profile/mac/mimeTypes.rdf -rw-r--r-- 1 sspitzer sspitzer 26946 Sep 25 19:38 prefs.js lrwxrwxrwx 1 sspitzer sspitzer 81 Jun 15 15:43 search.rdf -> /Users/sspitzer/Desktop/bonecho2/mozilla/browser/locales/en-US/profile/search.rdf FWIW, I don't remember making those sym links! When those links point into a non-exist files and folders, that explains the weirdness. additionally, since rdf:local-store could not be found, that explain this error: Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) [nsIRDFService.GetDataSource]" nsresult: "0x80520012 (NS_ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://browser/content/bookmarks/addBookmark2.js :: Startup :: line 107" data: no]

That sounds like bug 299149.

gavin, you rule.
