New issue in v 11

Post by JimLL »

Ever since installing version 11 I've been getting an error complaining about an entry in the new profile. [XML Parsing Error: undefined entity] Here, from "netError.xhtml" is the code block with the offending line set off from the rest. I don't understand it, but the onscreen Firefox error points to the ampersand (might not come out right onscreen). To me, the syntax doesn't look any different from the lines before and after. Maybe it's something in the declarations up front? (Hope this comes through, with the way I've punctuated it.)

| <div id="errorDescriptionsContainer">
| <div id="ed_generic">&generic.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_dnsNotFound">&dnsNotFound.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_fileNotFound">&fileNotFound.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_malformedURI">&malformedURI.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_protocolNotFound">&protocolNotFound.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_connectionFailure">&connectionFailure.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_netTimeout">&netTimeout.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_redirectLoop">&redirectLoop.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_unknownSocketType">&unknownSocketType.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_netReset">&netReset.longDesc;</div>
|
|
| <div id="ed_netOffline">&netOffline.longDesc;</div>
| -----------------------------^
|
| <div id="ed_netInterrupt">&netInterrupt.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_deniedPortAccess">&deniedPortAccess.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_proxyResolveFailure">&proxyResolveFailure.longDesc;</div>
| <div id="ed_proxyConnectFailure">&proxyConnectFailure.longDesc;</div>
| </div>

I know nothing about xhtml, but one block up there is this note which seems weird.

<!-- ERROR ITEM CONTAINER (removed during loading to avoid bug 39098) -->

?????????????????????

I'd appreciate a way to stop this error popping up every little bit. Did it forget to remove something or is 39098 beside the point?
Thanks a million

This is the bug > https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39098

The error seems to be related to some CSS code not behaving ??

That's an obsolete version that contains security vulnerabilities.

Upgrade to the latest version and the issue may sort itself out.

Where? In a dialog box? An error page like when a site fails to load? In the Error Console?

You have a file named netError.xhtml in your profile folder?

This error sets the entire screen to a creamy yellow color with a notice in black lettering and a red marker. Yes the code I posted was part of the netError.xhtml noted in the error statement quoted below.

Your problem comes from the Speedtest extension > https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefo ... -1/?src=ss Disable it and restart Firefox and see if its fixed.
