Summary: I want to make an extension that works in both Firefox and SeaMonkey. I also want to make use of entities in the FF/SM DTD files to avoid having to get my own extension/locale/xx-YY/www.dtd files for each and every locale so I try to do something like this: <!DOCTYPE overlay [ <!ENTITY % browserDTD SYSTEM "chrome://browser/locale/browser.dtd"> %browserDTD; <!ENTITY % viewZoomOverlayDTD SYSTEM "chrome://communicator/locale/viewZoomOverlay.dtd"> %viewZoomOverlayDTD; ]> The textZoom* entities reside in these files for Firefox (browser.dtd) and SeaMonkey (viewZoomOverlay.dtd). However the above example will fail in SeaMonkey as "chrome://browser/locale/browser.dtd" doesn't exist in SM. Apparently once the Gecko engine fails to find a dtd file, it skips the rest of the declarations with no warnings or errors. If I switch the two around then the extension fails in Firefox. I tried Neil's suggestion of pointing to one .DTD file and in that file to import other DTD files like so: .../myextension/content/viewzoom.dtd: <!ENTITY % viewZoomOverlayDTD SYSTEM "chrome://communicator/locale/viewZoomOverlay.dtd"> %viewZoomOverlayDTD; <!ENTITY % browserDTD SYSTEM "chrome://browser/locale/browser.dtd"> %browserDTD; However this also suffers from the same problem. So is there any solution other than to carry 22 different language locales with the attendant bloat?
