Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041106 Firefox/1.0

When using the en-GB nightly dated 07-Nov-2004 03:41 I have the same problem.
The XML error I get is:
------------BEGIN------------
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/aboutDialog.xul
Line Number 30, Column 1:

<label id="version" value="&aboutVersion; 1.0"/>
^
-------------END-------------

This has been reporduced with a clean install using a clean profile.

This is not reproducable on the standard en-US nightly[1] but on the same
machine & profile the en-GB version[2] produces the error. As the Dutch version
is also effected then it looks like an I18N issue?

[1] Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041106

Problem has been resolved by the dutch translators. It will be included in the
dutch language pack which will be released shortly.

In the mean time you can download the latest "nightly build" of the translation
from:  

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-0.11-l10n/firefox-1.0.nl-NL.langpack.xpi
