Dear Maintainer,

I maintain zotero-standalone which previously depended on xulrunner. Since iceweasel 30 xulrunner is
nomeore built and tehrefore I start the application with firefox -app. The application runs fine but when
the preference pane is launched it is empty and the js console reports this error:

Error: NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED: Component returned failure code: 0x8000ffff (NS_ERROR_UNEXPECTED) [nsIPrefBranch.getBoolPref]
Source File: chrome://global/content/bindings/preferences.xml
Line: 593

when I run the application with xulrunner from mozilla website everything works fine.

This problem arises with every version since 30.

I have no clue about what the possible problem is and would like to fix it before the freeze because not setting the
preferences is quite frustrating and results in zotero sa with limited usage.

Cheers

Mike
