Details
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0 Iceweasel/38.2.1
Build ID: 20150828090403
Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade windows version from 38.0.1 to 40.0.3 via upgrade function. Same behaviour after upgrade to 41.0
Actual results:
parsing of mozilla.cfg is broken, when this file contains comments, which contain special characters like german umlauts. Any settings from this file will be completely ignored without any error message or feedback to the user
Up to 38.0.1 umlauts in comments worked well
Expected results:
Umlauts or special characters in comments should not kill the parser.
If the parser is not able to parse mozilla.cfg, it should not die silently, but clearly inform the user of it's inability.
A French user reported the same issue in August 2015 when letters like " è ê ç" are included in the comments of mozilla.cfg.
