Thanks for reporting. There's an issue with our XML parser here. It chokes on the following, well-formed input:

<settings>  <General_Properties>    <position value="bottom"/>    <hide value="alpha"/>    <slideDirection value="leftright"/>    <time value="1"/>    <motion value="Cubic"/>    <ease value="easeOut"/>    <useButton value="false"/>    <arrow value="assets/redarrow.png"/>    <margin value="0"/>    <path value="DockMenuFX"/>    <showAbout value="true"/>  </General_Properties></settings>

For some reason it parses this into two top-level nodes, one for <settings>, which contains the entire correctly parsed content, and an empty one that shouldn't be there at all.

Is that just a Shumway problem or a global Firefox/Gecko issue?

Just Shumway, it has nothing to do with the rest of Firefox at all.

I only just enabled Shumway the other day and am yet to grasp all the details like how deeply it's integrated into Firefox. It's all very new and very exciting to me. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.
