Details
RDF seems to decode entities twice, resulting in incorrect behaviour. TESTCASE: o) Find downloads.rdf in your profile o) Change (say) the NC:StatusText attribute of one download to something like "Test: &" o) For extra fun, use ", expecting " being displayed. Start Mozilla. Note that the status text is displayed as "Test: &", instead of the expected "Test: &" I suspect this bug is caused by the fact that a) Expat parses the entity, replacing & with & in the above example; then b) The code in rdf/base/src/nsRDFParserUtils.cpp (EntityToUnicode) does the same. It seems somewhat doubtful to me that this is indeed the desired behaviour. and in fact, it breaks roundtripping: change xpfe/components/download-manager/resources/locale/en-US/downloadmanager.properties - for example, add & after "Canceled" make chrome, run mozilla, start and cancel a download Take note of the text in download manager: "Canceled&" like in the .properties file Exit Mozilla. Look at downloads.rdf. Note that the text now has an additional amp; as expected and desired (the first & was escaped). => Serialization works correctly Run Mozilla, look at download manager. Note that one amp; is now gone.
