283040 - domainMismatch error when accessing certain URLs

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: fr / French, defect)

Description

[Neil Lee [:neilio]]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X; fr-fr) AppleWebKit/125.5.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Safari/125.12
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; fr-FR; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050221 Firefox/1.0+

When I try to access the control panel (Webhost Manager, part of CPanel) for my hosting account, I get a 
strange error message which pops down like a sheet, and cannot be dismissed.

Note the test URL links to my server's control panel, which I would like to keep confidential. Is there any 
way I can post the URL but it is only seen by developers?

There is probably something wrong with a XUL file or DTD to produce
a sheet like that.

It probably won't occur in a build a few days from now and/or didn't
occur in one a few days ago.

See chrome://pippki/content/domainMismatch.xul (WFM) and a little 
more helpful http://kb.mozillazine.org/Dev_:_FireFox_Chrome_URLs .

I am running Firefox of the same age as yours, and probably clicked
through that dialogue yesterday. You might want to try the
20052020 nightly.

Actually, I found the issue - I run Firefox in French, and if the user_pref to
activate the French UI is "turned on", I get this error. With this fr-FR.xpi
turned off, it doesn't appear.

I don't know if this is a bug in the internationalization package, or if it's
something in Firefox, but I'll wait a few days and see if this goes away.

That sounds like a True Bill. Given that you know how to reproduce it and
it is occuring in a recent build I am sure that it would be a good idea
to check with those responsible for your build.

It might be nice to leave a note here of how this is eventually resolved,
but if you feel that such would be inappropriate or irksome, it is not vital.

Reassigning to filip. We probably could use some help from Eric, Flore or
Sebastien on OS X issues but I don't know if they have bugzilla accounts.
