Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
I recently upgraded from Firefox 3.0.17 directly to Firefox 3.6 using Mozilla team firefox-stable PPA. As you know, Firefox 3.5 was never available/supported on Hardy 8.04 LTS.
After the upgrade, the Firefox default profile is corrupted. Firefox application fails to start with the following error message:
XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome:
Line Number 31, Column 1:<window id="main-window"
^

I've end up with the same problem. I can't find such file at all. Any ideas how to workaround this?
