I currently get the following error at the top of about:memory on Firefox 9.0.1 and Gecko/20111229 Firefox/12.0a1 (Both Ubuntu builds):
"An error occurred when collecting a multi-reporter's results: [Exception... \"Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMemoryMultiReporter.collectReports]\"  nsresult: \"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)\"  location: \"JS frame :: chrome://global/content/aboutMemory.js :: getReportersByProcess :: line 295\"  data: no]"

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=688233#c23 suggested this
was desired, so I filed a bug

Sorry, I forgot to put in the first comment that I suggest telling the
user something like 'Unable to access /proc/self/smaps' per that other
bug comment.

Title:
  about:memory displays a weird error due to lacking access to
  /proc/self/smaps

Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser:
  Confirmed
Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Please note, this only affects users when the apparmor profile is enabled.
  "An error occurred when collecting a multi-reporter's results: [Exception... \"Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIMemoryMultiReporter.collectReports]\"  nsresult: \"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)\"  location: \"JS frame :: chrome://global/content/aboutMemory.js :: getReportersByProcess :: line 295\"  data: no]"

  The error should go away on Ubuntu after bug 911494 is fixed. Bug
  911494 is about apparmor blocking access to /proc/self/smaps.
  Upstream seems interested in refining this message.

  This bug is about refining the message rather than making it go away.
