error launching bromwser window:no XBL binding for browser

Occurred right after hang and quit, which in turn had occurred when trying to open the 
mail.yahoo.com page. A grey square appeared in  foreground with what looked like code bits 
appearing (apologies, but i didn't note it down at the time, but i do remember DTD appearing); 
when quitting noted that a lot of extra windows were open.

0828: when trying to "Open web location . . .":
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://communicator/content/openLocation.xul
Line Number 56, Column 70:
<label value="&enter.label;" control="dialog.input" accesskey="&enter.accesskey;" />
underscores across next line until a caret pointing at the dot in "&enter.accesskey;". Then unable to 
Quit Mozilla; had to force-quit.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. i just start the app
2. it happened, though, after i had been trying to install some localisation packages, which is 
another issue.
3.
Actual Results:  
as above in details.

Expected Results:  
Opened a browser window, or Help:About Mozilla, or Quit, or anything selected from the menus!

WFM,

Can you still reproduce this bug with a recent nightly build? I cannot on my OSX
10.3.4 installation.

Works for me.

Can you reproduce this with the latest Firefox release? If you can, reopen this bug.
