The url in the property pfs.datasource.url of toolkit's
mozapps/plugins/plugins.properties file of it-IT localization is malformed:

https\://update.mozilla.org/plugins/PluginFinderService.php?mimetype\=%
PLUGIN_MIMETYPE%&appID\=%APP_ID%&appVersion\=%APP_VERSION%&clientOS\=%
CLIENT_OS%&chromeLocale\=%CHROME_LOCALE%

instead of:

https://update.mozilla.org/plugins/PluginFinderService.php?mimetype=%
PLUGIN_MIMETYPE%&appID=%APP_ID%&appVersion=%APP_VERSION%&clientOS=%
CLIENT_OS%&chromeLocale=%CHROME_LOCALE%

this error causes problems during plugins installation.

Are you sure this is causing problems? It doesn't look malformed to me:
backslash escapes are correct in properties files.

Personally I am not able to verify the problem: with Firefox 1.0 the site
http://infomedia.ipix.com/gallery/webdev.shtml works fine. So I am not sure.

I asked people that verified this problem to add a comment on this bug.

Going on that page FX (fresh profile) freezes just after the applet is fully
loaded not allowing the complete load of the web page.
This happens to me by using FX 1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 (20050403) installed
by the it-IT installer.
After freezing it's enough to open or close a new tab to get FX crashed.

Restarting FX and reading the javascript console this message is shown (all
above mentioned builds):

Errore: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code:
0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIObserverService.removeObserver]"  nsresult:
"0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)"  location: "JS frame ::
chrome://mozapps/content/update/updates.xml :: onxbldestructor :: line 20" 
data: no]

These inconvenients do not happen by installing and using the en-US locale
(xpi). The applet is fully loaded and the page is loaded as well. No error
messages are shown in the javascript console.

it-IT win32 installer works perfectly for me

Now I'm testing it-IT installer on Windows 2000 Pro sp4
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; it-IT; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050404
Firefox/1.0.3

I've tested this morning Gecko/20050402 on a Windows Xp Pro sp2 without crashes
or other problems.

Behaviour: I click on the plugin icon, Firefox checks if there are plugins
available; plugin is unknown so FF show a button for manual installation.

I think this is *NOT* a necessary patch; it seems to be a problem regarding a
specific installation and not the it-IT installer in general
.

Just got a new PC few days ago. 
Installed onto it Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; it-IT; rv:1.7.7)
Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3 and the problem is not reproduceble there.
As Francesco said in comment #6 the problem was due to a specific installation
(even if I do not know why...)
I think you can consider this bug as closed.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
