Title:
  error when opening preferences

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  When I open preferences I get the following error

  XML Parsing Error: syntax error
  Location: chrome://messenger/content/preferences/preferences.xul
  Line Number 1, Column 1:t != gDefaultPort.value))

  I recent upgraded to Ibex Ibin from Hardy Heron and am running..

  WTF.. just clicking on Help -> About Mozilla Thunderbird got me this
  error

  XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
  Location: chrome://messenger/content/aboutDialog.xul
  Line Number 1, Column 6:    </hbox>
  -----^

  
  I restarted thunderbird and all is well.. It stated that it was adding the "Hebrew" addon. I think perhaps it was becuase there was an upgrade and the app just needed a reload. I think you should incorporate at least a reminder for restarting thunderbird, or sig term it and restart it yourselves after an upgrade. Another thing you can do is send a HUP signal and have it behave like apache where it seemlessly reloads the config and continues to operate.. Then agian the apache model is far different than this.

  Thanks,
  Carl.
