Disappeared with latest build Nightly - tested using hourly build

[Littlemutt]

I regularly test mozilla-central builds on win32 builds running on
Win7 x64.

With the merge following this morning's Nightly ForecastFox is no
longer present and I get a configure page when I start the build.

Its an hourly build of m-c using cset:
http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f80568dba010 found here:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-win32/1336651641/

Nothing is noted in the Error Console related to ForecastFox.

The Config page for ForecastFox does not appear to be working,
entering zip code for location results in no response, and the display
more icons does not respond.

Just a heads up.

Refreshing the Config page gives this error in Console:
Error: The character encoding of the HTML document was not declared.
The document will render with garbled text in some browser
configurations if the document contains characters from outside the US-
ASCII range. The character encoding of the page must to be declared in

Thanks for the heads up. No JS errors after viewing the options page?

No, no other js errors in the error console, and from what someone
told me on IRC that error msg is not really related to why its no
longer appearing and presenting the Config on startup of the browser.

OK some testing the mozilla-inbound builds I've narrowed it down to
the following checkins:

patch https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748914 (no windows

Hope this helps, I'm not a developer, just a tester/button pusher and
I don't have a clue about making local builds and backing out stuff.
Afraid this is as far as I go.
If you should create a developers version of ForecastFox for Nightly
users, I'd be more than happy to test it for you.

Thanks in advance
Jim

I'm not seeing any issues with Firefox on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; Win64; x64; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1 ID:20120510030517

Especially since that's now my default Firefox.

I'll keep an eye on it.

[Littlemutt]

Yes, that's today's Nightly build. I was using hourly builds. You
should probably see the issue in tomorrow's Nightly. You also seem to
be running 64bit builds, I'm using win32 builds, so it could be that
somehow 64bit builds may not manifest the problem. We will see
tomorrow.

Yep, the latest nightly just nerfed ForecastFox.  Doesn't display, and the options page is unworkable.

Here are the errors from the error console:

The last might be a problem.

OK, I've got confirmation from a suspect bug that landed in my triage
testing above, see:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=589032#c22

chrome/forecastfox.jar:content/sqlite.js will need to remove its use
of statement wrappers. This is a straightforward process.

I'm not a coder so its no so straight forward to me sadly.

Hope this helps

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1
SeaMonkey/2.12a1 ID:20120511003004

Until yesterday, forecastfox 2.0.21 worked OK on my menubar (with
extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly set to false). Now I'm seeing
the bug in this nightly, and on 64-bit Linux to boot, as follows:

A few minutes ago, I updated to this new nightly of SeaMonkey. On
restart, the forecastfox options page appeared, with nothing selected.
Also, no icons sets were displayed to be selected. The forecastfox
toolbar and dragbutton were not visible on the menubar, and one
flexible spacer had moved to the right side of the separator, printer
icon and throbber icon which were normally rightmost on the bar.

Even after selecting forecastfox settings and closing the page, the
forecastfox toolbar did not appear and the settings were lost at next
restart. Filtering about:config on the string "forecast" (without the
quotes) yields a number of prefs starting forecastbar. (an extension
which I once had, but stopped using a ling time ago), and only the
following three starting forecastfox. :

forecastfox.units.precip.1 user set string mm
forecastfox.units.pressure.1 user set string hPa
forecastfox.units.speed.1 user set string km/h

Finally I disabled (but did not uninstall) forecastfox in
about:addons, for lack of something better to do in order to avoid
getting the options page displayed (and not working) at every restart.

FWIW, the extension is present in unpacked form, as the directory tree
starting at extensions/{0538E3E3-7E9B-4d49-8831-A227C80A7AD3}/ in the
profile. Not sure if the mixing of one lowercase hex "letter" (hex
digit >9) with all others uppercase is intentional but it is there
(and, on Linux, filenames are case-sensitive).


Best regards,
Tony.

Its been five days and no response to a very valid question, so I guess we need to take that as the response - nothing will be done. Time to find another weather extension for Firefox.

Here's a fix, I just did this and its working again:
