Build ID: 20130313170052

Steps to reproduce:

Went to 

http://www.graham-mitchell.com/ using FF19.0.2 and the images will not load.

FF17 - Works
FF18 - Works
FF20b5 - Works
FF21a2 - Works


Actual results:

As noted the site loads images for versions of FF17/18/20b/21a but not FF19.

It also works in Chrome and Safari [latest versions].


Expected results:

See above.

I'm glad it works in Firefox 20. That means it will be fixed in a couple of weeks when that version comes out.

Comment 2

I did get this from the error console when using FF19.
Error: not well-formed
Source File: http://www.graham-mitchell.com/data/xml/header.xml

I didn't get that error with FF18 or FF20b.

So the web site's owner simply needs to have his viewers wait until April; great solution!

Also see this:

which points to the issue.

Nobody reported it during the Aurora or Beta phases of 19, nor was it reported for the first 4 weeks that Firefox 19 was out. Waiting another 2 weeks seems would not seem to be a problem, therefore.

It seems that the XML files which work have the following header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

and the ones which don't work have the following header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

I assume this is a bug with FF19? UTF-16 should be supported.

Probably bug 844007

Comment 6

[Robert Longson [:longsonr]]

Fixed it, I mean.

Comment 7

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

In case that it's bug 844007 it would be still a bug in the page.
