[MASTER] chrome error when viewing untrusted https site using firefox with some locales

Triaged in Firefox awaiting review of translation team.

Seems like all(?) translations are missing the following entry on top, so this is no translator issue:

<!ENTITY % brandDTD
    SYSTEM "chrome://branding/locale/brand.dtd">
  %brandDTD;

The same happened to me with Czech translation....

Chyba parsování XML: Nedefinovaná entita
Adresa: jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/chrome/browser.jar!/content/browser/certerror/aboutCertError.xhtml
Číslo řádku 241, sloupec 34: <p id="introContentP1">&certerror.introPara1;</p>
---------------------------------^

Moving to langpack-o-matic for triage.

I have the same error in german firefox:

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: Nicht definierte Entität
Adresse: jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/chrome/browser.jar!/content/browser/certerror/aboutCertError.xhtml
Zeile Nr. 241, Spalte 34: <p id="introContentP1">&certerror.introPara1;</p>
---------------------------------^

is there any workaround? in the moment we are using epiphany to access the firewall-system, but thats a disappointing situation because firefox is the standard browser...

Error also occur, when going to "about:mozilla" (german locale).

XML-Verarbeitungsfehler: nicht wohlgeformt
Adresse: jar:file:///usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.1.3/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/mozilla.xhtml
Zeile Nr. 90, Spalte 1:
&mozilla.quote;
^

(xml parsing error: not well formed)

@P-Baumgart: there is a workaround, start Firefox from a terminal as follows (or create a little shell script that starts firefox like that):

LANG=C firefox

That will run Firefox in US English (the problem is with the translations).

@sunblade: that is not the same error of course, but maybe it's caused by the same or a similar bug in the system that converts Launchpad translations to Mozilla format translations...

Hi,

I had the same problem (Karmic, german Firefox). I started firefox as Claeys mentioned, accepted the untrusted certificate, closed firefox and started it again (just "firefox", no "LANG=C firefox") and voila, it works.

Seems like the problem occurs only in case the certificate isn't accepted already.

Same here with italian translation :S

cannot be fixed for beta as it involves a complete re-creation of all langpacks. will get it fixed right after beta.

Hi,
same problem here for french locale testing karmic Beta.

Russian locale the same.
Karmic Beta clear setup.

Spanish does not work too...
Firefox manage to start with Jan's method...
Testing Karmic from online update.

This bug affects me too...

I've tried to access a Linksys WAP4410N's https interface from Firefox, after I've upgraded my Ubuntu 9.04 to 9.10 beta.

Interface is in Romanian.

And I've got this:

Eroare la analiza XML: entitate nedefinită
Adresă: jar:file:///usr/lib/firefox-3.5.3/chrome/browser.jar!/content/browser/certerror/aboutCertError.xhtml
Număr linie 241, coloană 34: <p id="introContentP1">&certerror.introPara1;</p>
---------------------------------^

Please, if you just want to see "me too", there is a "this bug affects me too" option on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox-3.5/+bug/429835/+affectsmetoo

Thank you.

This bug is similar to #424746

Alex says that this was a bug in the po2xpi script in langpack-o-matic. The bug was fixed, new langpacks will be uploaded today.

should be fixed released. ww have bug 437545 open for the still existing langpack-o-matic/po2xpi bug wrt devmode. so invalidating that part of this bug too.

Reopening (sorry for reopening for both langpack-o-matic and firefox, since unsure). Still happens with Finnish, even on a fresh install, eg. when opening https://nm.debian.org/:

Works fine with French language at least.

And with Croatian...

Changed title unless there are other locales with similar error still. Anyway, the error message is the same as in the original bug report.

finnish is struck by the still open langpack-o-matic part of this bug because its one of the few whitelisted for po2xpi ... i removed fi from whitelist for now in 9.10 ... once its fixed we will enable it again.

Kind thanks for the fix, whenever it will be released.

This seems to be fixed now. Thanks!

Same problem for Occitan.

The problem is present on lucid's firefox, I am experiencing with LANG=pt_PT.UTF-8 .

I have the problem with firefox-3.5.6 on lucid with cs_CZ.UTF-8 locales.
As workaround I can start firefox with C or en_US.UTF-8 locales, which shows expected page about certificate issue.

Getting this with firefox 3.6.12+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.10.04.1 from lucid-updates.

Should add, this is with en_CA.UTF-8

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

karmic has seen the end of its life and is no longer receiving any updates. Marking the karmic task for this ticket as "Won't Fix".
