I think this may have started happening since a recent Firefox
upgrade.
If I try to download (say) vtun from vtun.sourceforge.net, it points
me at the mirror list and I pick one, say Heanet. I get the

Disk and when I hit OK I then get:
XML Parsing Error: not well formed
Location: chrome://global/content/filepicker.xul
Line Number 1, Column 22:
all, dialog=no, url, null, null, line);

ie the uparrow is pointing at the second comma.
Is there an easy way of fixing this bar removing and reinstalling
Firefox?
Two things I notice:
1) if you're specifically talking about vtun, it's in Portage, so you
don't even necessarily have to download it separately.
2) I just tried downloading both the stable source tarball and the
development tarball from vtun.sourceforge.net using Firefox 1.03 and did
not have any problems.
So this is probably one of the ever-popular make sure to create a new
profile when upgrading issues. That would be the first thing I would
try. You can copy your bookmarks.html and signons.txt (if you have one)
from your old profile easily enough; I usually also copy key3.db as well
(I'm not sure if it's related to the Password Manager, but better safe
than sorry.
IIrc, if you don't want to create a new profile, you can delete
compreg.dat (please check the archives to confirm this filename!!!) in
your current profile to clean it of conflicting settings in the
backend (if this is the correct file, it will be recreated 'properly' by
the upgraded firefox version if not found; everything else will remain
the same, such as your installed extensions and the like).
Hope this helps,
