This is the first time I looked at this Pref setting since upgrading to 1.7 from
1.7b.  I had customized this Pref in the past, but it had been a long while and
I don't recall using it recently.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. From Edit menu, select Preferences.
2. In Prefs dialog, click Languages/Content under Appearance.
3.

Actual Results:  
Error noted above appears in the dialog window, where the prefs are supposed to
display.

Expected Results:  
Display pref options for Languages/Content

Did you install in a clean folder? This sounds like some file is missing here or
you have the wrong version of it.

Confirming on Win2k SP4
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803.
I upgraded today from Mozilla 1.7 to 1.7.2, after uninstalling the previous
version (and totally erasing the program directory). With 1.7 all is working,
wiht 1.7.2 I got the problem.

Update:
after deleting my old profile directory (the one I manually "migrated" from when
installing 1.7: ie. at installation time I created a fresh profile and then
overwrote some files - bookmarks, prefs, mail db - with the same from the old
profile...) I'm no longer able to get the above error.

However, now I have no "Languages" item under Appearance in the PRefs dialog. :-)
