1068287 - a yellow XML message on a failed lookup of a domain

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 569229

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Victor Porton]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686 on x86_64; rv:31.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/31.0 Iceweasel/31.1.0
Build ID: 20140903121924

Steps to reproduce:

I tried to load http://www.mathematics21.org/binaries/funcoids-are-filters.pdf


Actual results:

For some reason (not related to Firefox) my system was not able to locate this domain.

I get yellow XML Parsing Error:

XML Parsing Error: unexpected parser state Location: jar:file:///usr/lib/iceweasel/omni.ja!/chrome/toolkit/content/global/netError.xhtml Line Number 304, Column 68: <div id="ed_connectionFailure">&connectionFailure.longDesc;</div> -------------------------------------------------------------------^


Expected results:

It should politely tell that the domain cannot be looked up.

You get this error if you load http://example.invalid ?
Do you still get the error if you run Firefox in the safemode ?

I cannot reproduce this error.

"Iceweasel can't find the server at www.example.invalid."

Please, could you test in safe mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode) and with a new profile (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles).

No, I can't test it, because the bug is not reproducible.

Feel free to reopen it if the issue is back.
