Attachment: ff4twitter

Trying to edit your profile on FF 4.0b8 does not give the new helpful 'Please enter a twitter.com/FB URL' Instead it gives 'Please match the requested format' errors. Does not repro on other browsers or versions of FF.

1) open FF4.0b8
2) log in> profile> enter 'twiiiteer.com/user' under Twitter field> submit

expected: Please enter a twitter.com URL
actual: Please match the requested format

That's a Firefox 4 message. We can change it using x-moz-errormessage="message here" [1], but it's non-standard. We should probably just wait until Firefox 4 comes out, or ask someone if the decision has already been made to keep that property.

-> Future. I agree with Paul that we should wait til Fx4 is released before committing to a solution.
