r94029 has a potential fix for this. When ACR detects that a major application upgrade has occurred, it will *uninstall* all locales, and then restart the browser. This will mean that Firefox can at least start with a working UI.
For some reason, merely disabling the locales does not have any effect. I suspect this is because the addon manager is not yet watching for addon disables when we need to disable it (when the broken UI comes up), but uninstalling the addon will trigger the uninstall immediately. I'm not sure it is desireable that we uninstall all locales in this instance, but this behaviour must be better than seeing a broken UI. I am also looking for some clarification on locale vs langpack in this regard, as the AddonManager returns "locale" as the addon type, regardless. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/677815 Title: Firefox crashes with XML Parsing Error Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Fix Released Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox The newest version of Firefox installed from the Natty repositories crashes on startup with the following message: XML Parsing Error: undefined entity Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul Line Number 232, Column 5: <key id="key_openAddons" key="&addons.commandkey;" command="Tools:Addons" modifiers="accel,shift"/> ----^ Firefox 4b7 downloaded straight from Mozilla is running fine.
