Question

My firefox 3.6 gets error when I close connected to socket.io server tab in browser:

Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0xc1f30001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED) [nsIDOMJSWindow.setTimeout]" nsresult: "0xc1f30001 (NS_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED)" location: "JS frame :: address.pl:PORT/socket.io/socket.io.js :: anonymous :: line 2057" data: no]

Other browsers are fine, even IE8

Was it helpful?

Solution

I think that the problem may be this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=630386

As you can see, they have marked it as "RESOLVED WORKSFORME" because the bug is fixed in Firefox 4.0 as a side-effect of other work.

Which leaves you with a couple of realistic options:

  • try to figure out a workaround (good luck!), or
  • recommend that users of your product upgrade to a later version of Firefox.

Note that FF 3.6 has been "end-of-lifed", so the chances of getting a fix into the codebase for this version are asymptotic to zero.
