+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #792968 +++ The changes done in bug 792968 did not account the situation if the variable passed into the original regexp.test() actually exists. Instead of changing if (/^xxx/.test(str)) { ... } to if (str.startsWith('xxx')) { ... } it should be be change to if (str && str.startsWith('xxx')) { ... } This has caused "TypeError: aUrl is undefined" error in Firefox whenever Fx is launched with add-on SDK |cfx run| https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/396e59370945/browser/base/content/urlbarBindings.xml#l662 It can also occasionally triggered in noermal use (w/o add-on developement), see https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/949594
Could we just prepend undefined check on every line bug 792968 changes? The patch have seem to be causing bug 797430 and bug 845055, and now this.
No longer depends on: 797430, 845055

Hello. Seems a easy bug to write a few lines of code. I want to work this. But I find that the code I download from http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ is still using `if (/^xxx/.test(str))`. For example line 98 in `browser/base/content/browser-feeds.js`. So I should change the code like that to `if (str && str.startsWith('xxx')) { ... }`, right?
Comment on attachment 826395 [details] [diff] [review] the result of `hg diff` Hi mt, Cloud you identify other part of bug 792968 that needs to be fixed too? Not every change need to be prepend with a undefined check though coz some of the variable will always be a string.
Comment on attachment 826405 [details] [diff] [review] bug934103.patch I think mt have this one covered. I believe are many good first bug to solve :)

I'm trying to get the auth of Level 1. Hope I can push the patch to try server myself soon.
mt, I've push the WIP patch to try and you will have a Mac build to test out with add-on SDK soon. https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=12a5d0f049ec

If so you should try it instead.

Although I hate to take a 'good first bug', this is starting to get really annoying and we should just fix it. I checked, and this does indeed seem to fix the issue at hand.
