Accessing a XUL file through file: or http: has very diffent results.
file: works fine.
http: generates javascript errors and abnormal display/behavior

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. place test files in apache docroot/xul
2. access http://localhost/xul/file.xul
3. access file://apache/docroot/xul/file.xul

Reproduced in linux (mozilla and firebird) and freebsd (mozilla)

Actual Results:  
file: does what is expected; http: is whacky.
Although source is complete, http: fails to rendor tabs correctly, and only
every other click succeeds in activating a tab.

That testcase worksforme when I try it from bugzilla (over http, of course).

Is your server sending it with the right MIME type?

I figured out the mime type ommission right after Boris did.
There is no bug. I'm very sorry.
