When I try to download a file (I tried with several files on different sites), I get this :

XML Parsing Error: error in processing external entity reference
Location: chrome://mozapps/content/downloads/unknownContentType.xul

Normally it should display a question asking what to do with the file : download, open with. It came after I updated firefox.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
just try download a file
Actual Results:  
I updated firefox

Expected Results:

hum now it works without changing anything (I just rebooted). However, I let the bug open for now (unless you don't want) because there was a bug.

There is no point in keeping this bug open if you can no longer reproduce the problem (and no-one else is seeing this), so I'll close it as WORKSFORME now.

If you see this again, please reopen this bug report.
