User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040206 Firefox/0.8 Build Identifier: This is with Firefox 0.8. From a Windows XP user account that contains a non-ASCII letter (Cäcilia), I could not send mail; it complained about the TEMP directory not being found; the message revealed that the user name had been mangled. After reconfiguring the temp directory to something outside the user data area, it worked. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create Windows account Cäcilia and use it 2. run Firefox 3. compose a mail and try to send it I consider the severity to be Major because the normal user will not have the clue to reconfigure the temp directory; also it's not a nice work-around.
Same thing is Bug 248957. Please try TB 0.7.1, there was some work for profiles with non-ascii chars.
Try current builds like 1.0 RC. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 260034 ***
