Description

[Arne Goetje]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.5

In the files locale/ta-LK/reporter/reportResults.dtd and locale/ta-LK/reporter/reportWizard.dtd exists a Byte Order Mark (U+FEFF) as first character in front of the XML tag, which causes our XML parser to exit with a error message. The Byte Order Mark is inserted by Windows based text editors automatically and should be removed manually before packaging the XPI.

Patch to fix this bug is attached.

Also, please remove the 3 newlines at the beginning of the install.rdf file. (not included in the patch). They also cause the import into Launchpad to fail.

Reproducible: Always
