265445 - help content/contents.rdf includes chrome DTD file, really bad mojo

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Help Viewer, defect)

Description

[Benjamin Smedberg]

/toolkit/components/help/content/contents.rdf

 42 <!DOCTYPE RDF:RDF [
 43     <!ENTITY % brandDTD SYSTEM "chrome://global/locale/brand.dtd">
 44     %brandDTD;
 45 ]>

Which means that if we register help/content before global/locale we have XML
parsing errors and we're screwed. There is no need for this entity, the
description isn't used anywhere. This causes most/all of the localized ZIP
builds to not work properly, and it may be the cause of random "my Firefox won't
start" errors for regular users.

This is still hapenning. This bug should be reopened.
