Subject: [Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#1108878: webext-ublock-origin-firefox:
 broken "Filter lists" page; listDetails.parent is null
Message-ID: <175181833299.11614.3397476162115698829.reportbug@thunder>

Package: webext-ublock-origin-firefox
Version: 1.62.0+dfsg-0+deb11u1
Severity: important
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

After the recent upgrade, I found the "Filter lists" page broken.

I eventually noticed the console contained:

	Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: listDetails.parent is null
		 onListsReceived moz-extension://9d0566f5-8804-401e-b54b-abc9496cabfd/js/3p-filters.js:255
		 renderFilterLists moz-extension://9d0566f5-8804-401e-b54b-abc9496cabfd/js/3p-filters.js:305
	3p-filters.js:255:39

Editing that line in 3p-filters.js, I appended "listDetails.parent !== null" to the "listDetails.parent !== undefined" check, which resolves the error and allows the page to render as normal.

I briefly checked the code and didn't see any other checks that guarded against both null and undefined, but this check needed both to not error.

I have not investigated whether there's an underlying issue of whatever is assigning/allowing null to listDetails.parent elsewhere in the code or if the value is coming from a filter list, but I guess it's probably the latter.


Thanks,

Peter Boughton
