Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 45324

(Core :: Internationalization: Localization, defect, P3)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron: (⌚️UTC-4, no longer working on Mozilla)]

DESCRIPTION:  Choosing the British localization freezes the browser and prevents 
it from starting.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
 1) create a new profile in the profilemanager (unless you want to trash your 
current profile) and run using it
 2) Select QA | Languages | English (GB)
 3) kill (since it froze) and restart the browser with the profile you created
and ran with

ACTUAL RESULTS:
 after 2) browser freezes completely
 after 3) browser will not start.  It gives an error that 
"chrome://global/locale/intl.css" cannot be found:

CSSLoaderImpl::DidLoadStyle: Load of URL 'chrome://global/locale/intl.css' faile
d.  Error code: 16389

Nominating for nsbeta2.  A menuitem that does this should not be in the beta 
release.

Putting on [NEED INFO] radar.  Does this happen with Japanese or other 
localizations?

Comment 3

[Jay Patel [:jay]]

Putting on [nsbeta2-] radar. Not critical to beta2.

Reassigned to Tao.

We need to populate the en-GB (now en-DE) packs with localzied files and then
keeping them up-to-date so they won't break.

Would simply removing them from the source tree and release build a better
solution?
