I just got a native error dialog, by editing my prefs.js file so that it was malformed (commented a line out with a #). The native error dialog was missing the normal note, warning or stop icon.

Umm I what does this dialog say? The only native dialog I know of says is the one checking for 8.6

It tells me about the JS error. Actually, I think this dialog is coming from the prefs code.

prefapi.c has a function called pref_Alert which uses kAlertPlainAlert rather than one with an icon. Other problems include the use of hard coded strings.

Moving all libPref component bugs to new Preferences: Backend component. libPref component will be deleted.

Over to pchen, paul this looks like an easy one-liner, change the dialog type to an icon type.?

No, this is very old, and I don't even know if the code is still in libpref to show show a native dialog.

Bulk assigning bugs covered by the rewrite of nsPrefs to myself.

All code accessing this dialog has been removed as part of the work being done as part of bug 46863. For that reason, I am marking this as a duplicate of 46863. If you feel this is in error, feel free to change it back. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 46863 ***

alecf has requested that I not dupe all these bugs, but rather close them as fixed after the work in bug 46863 has landed. Changing again...

Platform specific dialogs were removed as part of the preferences refactoring. This dialog no longer exists.

okay.
