265448 - Site that should bring up a certificate warning dialog does not work with localized Firefoxes

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, defect)

Description

[Martin Creutziger [:MMx]]

1. package a localized Firefox using "make -C browser/locales installers-%"

2. Use that Fox to go to https://www.spg.tu-darmstadt.de/mailman/listinfo/dsp

3. It stalls.

If one packaged Firefox with "make -C browser/installer" instead (right after
the build) it brings up a certificate warning dialog, as it should.

I don't know which packages are affected besides the MacOS X package, might be
doing some testing later as far as I have the resources for it.
If anybody else can test on other platforms, please do so and report back.

The behaviour might be related to the fact that "Help" is missing in these builds. 
In the build created in the first round, en-US Help is included. So it works.
A.Topal had the same problem with the 0.9.x builds back then.

WFM on localized windows installer build. I will try a windows ZIP build shortly.

Does https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=162849&action=view fix this
problem? Windows ZIP builds work for me with that patch.

re:c#3
yes, it works as long as the locale has Help.
If it does not, no Help is packaged and the problem persists.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de-DE; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041021 Firefox/1.0

it still does not work with "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O;
de-DE; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041021 Firefox/1.0" though. There seems to be a
difference between installer and zip builds in this case. (MacOS X package is
like a zip build)

OK, with the fresh builds from today (2004-10-22) this seems to work now, even
if the locale has no help. obviously the 10-21 builds did not pick up the patch
for bug 265445 yet.
