When using the Address bar to search for websites, instead of going right to the first site found, a FILE NOT FOUND error occurs:

'Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesFIREFOX'

and the end of the error message the word that was searched for appears at the end of the file location.

FILE NOT FOUND Error appeared: 
Firefox can't find the file at jar:file:///C:/Program Files/Mozilla Firefox/chrome/en-US.jar!/locale/browser-region/region.propertiesfirefox

see <http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=934345>

apparently, it's caused by the Ask toolbar

Caused by toolbar extensions. In this case, by the Foxit PDF reader toolbar.

Outside of our scope which makes this bug invalid.
