Details

TB 1.0+0525, Win2K

On startup, the message pane is a light yellow window with this text:
  XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
  Location: jar:file:///C:/Moz/TB/chrome/toolkit.jar!/content/global/about.xhtml
  Line Number 82, Column 1:<a id="mozlink" href="&releaseURL;">
      &brandShortName; 1.0+</a>

No apparent side effects.  The About dialog displays as expected when asked for.
FWIW, I don't have "Remember last selected message" checked, if that's not 
already obvious.


PS: Last time I saw an error like this, I couldn't select the error text for 
copying -- now I can!  Very nice!
Also: no error in the JavaScript Console.
Flags: blocking-aviary1.1?
Whoops -- I figured this out, and it's an older bug that was apparently 
quiescent for a while...?

Personally i think this bug here should be reopened, since it shows something
went wrong with some checkin (since it only started to occour since today (again?)).
Hmmm  I just installed the windows 05/25 build this morning and it ran just fine
(installer)
BTW: This bug here was "exposed" by Bug 295040, before the wrapper prevented
displaying the page afaik.
what's your start page mike? 
As noted at the dupe: my start page was set to "about:" which is what that bug 
is about.  I wasn't seeing anything for a long time, so I'd simply forgotten 
about it; but the recent build
