300342 - Update of Reporter fails because of <em:updateURL>about:blank</em:updateURL>

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 299887

Description

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b3) Gecko/20050710
Firefox/1.0+

In the Extension Manager, select Reporter or don't select any extension, and
click Update.

Result:
Deer Park encountered problems when trying to find updates for some items.
Clicking the Details button shows that Reporter is the culprit.

This is because Reporter has this line in its install.rdf:
<em:updateURL>about:blank</em:updateURL>
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/reporter/install.rdf#42

Not that the DOM Inspector doesn't have this line and works fine therefore:
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/extensions/inspector/install.rdf

I guess about:blank doesn't tell a lot about Reporter updates. We should remove
this line, so that addons.mozilla.org will be checked for updates.
