[Mario Rinaldi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121623 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5 Ubiquity/0.1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.0.5) Gecko/2008121623 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.5 Ubiquity/0.1.5

I use firefox in pt-BR trying to use the snowl an error occurs in preferences.xml. considered possible error location, and decided to test the addon without locale support. Unzip the XPI, editing chrome.manifest file, removed the lines relating of locales directories (did not remove anything about en-US) and Recompress the XPI... tested and works perfectly... Oo

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install the addons
2. using browser in pt-BR
3. open the window of addon
4. open preference windows of snowl addon
5. CRASH! =P



to resolve this bug, is very easy... just recreate the files locale!

Urk, it looks like I shipped Snowl 0.2 with some incomplete locales, including pt-BR and fr-FR.  That is what is causing Snowl's preference dialog not to work correctly in those locales.

I have uploaded a new build of Snowl 0.2 that disables the incomplete locales:

Unfortunately, currently only da-DK, en-US, pl-PL, and zh-CN are complete.  Some others (ca-AD, de-DE, es-ES, fr-FR, ja-JP, nl-NL, pt-BR) are in progress on BabelZilla <http://babelzilla.org/> and will hopefully make it into the next release of Snowl.
