Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 252147

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Timothy P. Wolfe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050223 Firefox/1.0.1

When using Live Bookmarks, if an Atom feed is bookmarked, any escaped character
entities (& [Ampersand], … [Ellipsis], ’ [Right Single Quote],
etc.) in the article titles of that feed are displayed as raw HTML code, rather
than the symbols they are supposed to represent.

RSS feeds (and Atom feeds viewed from extensions such as Sage) do not have this
problem, and properly display escaped character entities as the symbols they
represent.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a page that has an an Atom feed available, and uses escaped character
entities in its feed article titles.
2. Add the feed to your list of bookmarks.
3. Open the feed.
Actual Results:  
Atom feed article titles display the escaped character entities as raw HTML code.

Expected Results:  
Atom feed article titles should display the escaped character entities as the
symbols they represent.
