Firefox problem on Ubuntu

Post #269,002 by hnick 9/30/06 11:13:39 AM Reply	Firefox problem on Ubuntu I've been getting strange error messages starting this morning: XML Parsing Error: not well-formed Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul Line Number 1, Column 1:{ ^ when I try to access extensions or plugins. I was attempting to get firefox set up so I can see flash and video the same way I can in windows. This seems to be a new development. Anybody seen this before or have suggestions? Thanks, Hugh

I never solved it, other than waiting a few days for the next upgrade to fix it. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Meaning that extensions and plug-ins are borked untill the maintainers fix it. It is just a matter of waiting, like Drew said. It might behoove you to re-install all of your extensions from mozdev. The act of re-installing the extensions actually are as good as re-move and re-install now. The xpi setup is pretty cool. One extension that always break for me is "Image Zoom", in fact... I believe that is the exact stuff that comes up when it is broke. For a while it was so bad I had to remove it and wait for a couple of revisions to go by, because the maintainer wouldn't fix the problem as it was a toughy... so he applied band-aids which didn't work. Good luck on you quest... Ernesto!
