The problem, I think, is due to the fact that Firefox does not support
the po format itself, it uses something else IIRC (rdf files and the
like). When I was looking at the translations of Firefox I found some
duplicated strings, something that with a po file would have never
happened.

Probably Launchpad can't import po file that are "malformed" as there
should not be duplicated strings...

If you want to look at FF translations on your system, look
inside /usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/

My 0.2$... and take them with caution, I could be wrong... :)
