570297 - Error after installing Add-on Compatibility Reporter

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 564870

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Compatibility Tools, defect)

Description

[Peter Hardman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100602 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Minefield/3.7a5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.3a5pre) Gecko/20100602 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Minefield/3.7a5pre

When I restart after installing the Add-on Compatibility Reporter, I get an error window containing the following text:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Line Number 211, Column 5:    <key id="key_inspect" key="&inspectMenu.commandkey;" command="Tools:Inspect" modifiers="accel,shift"/>
----^

This happens every time I try run Minefield until I use -safe-mode to uninstall the addon and reset the user preferences, just removing the addon isn't enough. Otherwise, Minefield works fine. I can install other (compatible) without any problems.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Add-on Compatibility Reporter from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003/
2. Restart Minefield
Actual Results:  
Error window containing:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
Line Number 211, Column 5:    <key id="key_inspect" key="&inspectMenu.commandkey;" command="Tools:Inspect" modifiers="accel,shift"/>
----^

Expected Results:  
Just started Minefield normally

I installed into latest Minefield on Linux (Kubuntu 10.04) and got no error. Could only happen with Ubuntu's Minefield build and not Mozilla's. In any case, this extension is not currently compatible so I don't expect it to work.

The landing of the new Addons Manager on Minefield broke compatibility with many addons. (I wish they chose times like these to bump the Trunk version number...) This extension is not currently compatible but a new version with support will be released at some point.

The real bug here is that the maxVer was set to 3.7a5pre. I've downgraded it to 3.7a4 so it can't be installed in nightlies.

Keep an eye on bug 564870 for compatibility with the new add-ons manager.
