I had just updated to firefox 3.0.1 and went to manually check for updates to the client by going to Help and clicking Check for Updates...The update check fails saying "There were problems checking for, downloading, or installing this update. Firefox could not be updated because: AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200)"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click Help in the File menu of Firefox
2.Click the option that reads Check for Updates...
3.Watch as the update fails due to AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200)
Actual Results:  
The update fails with the error AUS: Update XML File Malformed (200).

Expected Results:  
Firefox should have told me whether or not any updates were available for the client.

Can't reproduce after updating Fx3.0 on both WinXP and OS X 10.4

I can't remember if a patch was released or not after I posted this, but, I no longer have the problem anymore, the update function works normally now without error. :S
