The error as reported in the error console is: NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE: Component returned failure code: 0x80570015 (NS_ERROR_XPC_CI_RETURNED_FAILURE) [nsIJSCID.createInstance] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download test addon 2. install test addon 3. open new tab Actual Results: Error got logged in error console Expected Results: Nothing

Unfortunately we don't allow creating components in content processes that require NSS to be initialized. You'll need to create it in chrome and send messages back and forth use make use of the object.

There are some movements to make hashing independent on (unimplemented by) NSS. This is probably tracked in bug 611781, but I'm not 100% sure it is the one. Anyway, this is not going to happen very soon.

Issue is reproducible on Nightly /14.0a1 XUL 2012-03-29 on HTC Desire Z

Closing all opened bug in a graveyard component
