If googlebar0.8-test-en-US.xpi is installed it all works ok. If
googlebar0.8-test-de-AT.xpi is installed Mozilla prints out:

<menuitem id="view_gg_menuitem"
--^
   <menuitem id="bsd"
-----^

This also happens on the vanilla Mozilla en-US.
It worked properly till Mozilla 1.7!

Note: The only difference to the en-US-Package is in install.js, line 41:
var locCountry="de-AT"; <-> var locCountry="en-US";


Reproducible: Always

1. Install googlebar0.8-test-de-AT.xpi
2. Restart Browser
3.

After start the following is shown on the bottom of the Browser:

<menuitem id="view_gg_menuitem"
--^
   <menuitem id="bsd"
-----^


Expected Results:

dupe of bug 226827?

Comment 4

[Alex Pircher]

No it's not a dupe of bug 226827, because that one was filed 2003, where
Mozilla 1.7 wasn't available.

My bug exists on 1.7.3, it's working properly on 1.7. It also exists on
the localized version of Mozilla 1.7.3.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
