Package: mozilla-tabextensions Version: 1.14.2005040701-1 Severity: important
Some weird code is displayed in every Mozilla component window, which takes quite a lot of space and makes it look ugly. The code is something like
<menuitem id="context-bookmarkTabGroup" -^
and is in a huge red font.

Hi,
Same problem here with mozilla-tabextensions 1.14.2005040701-1 (same version) and mozilla-browser 2:1.7.7-2.
According to what I have observed, it's due to the previous use of another (localized ?) version of tab-extensions.
Here is the way I used to fix the problem : - stop mozilla
- execute the following command to list the faulty lines in your chrome.rdf file(s):
$ find $HOME/.mozilla -name chrome.rdf -exec grep \
"Locale.*tabextensions" {} /dev/null ";"
- edit the listed file(s) and delete the listed line(s)
- then run mozilla again. Problem should have disappeared.
I hope this will work for you too.
As I said above, this bug doesn't show up if it's your first use of tab extension. Thus this bug implies you installed a backport of mozilla-tabextensions or downloaded it directly from the mozilla website. For this reason, IMO, either this bug should be tagged "fixed" or "wontfix" since those that stick to the official Debian stable will never encounter it, or its severity should be raised to grave since it makes mozilla quite unusable (here half the mozilla window was full of XUL interpreter errors). Anyhow, this bug should be sent upstream I guess.
Regards,
Xavier
