footnotes
The subject line says it all – I assume \thefootnote{} is internally defined so this error seems strange.
I lifted the command from here: http://latex.silmaril.ie/formattinginformation/footnotes.html. Note, the command is missing a }, which I added. The result is as expected — symbols instead of numbers — but what about the compiler error?
BTW, I want to switch the indexing so that I can use footnotes and endnotes together without getting the indexing mixed up.
The example seems to work when I add \let\Umathcode\XeTeXmathcode \let\Umathchardef\XeTeXmathchardef. Perhaps the package should make a suitable test to avoid to break with older engines.
footmisc has no effect with the french option to babel enabled as the main language, unless one issues
\frenchbsetup{FrenchFootnotes=false}
because, otherwise, the code for “French footnotes” is used, which is not influenced by footmisc.
It's also better to use the \url command that makes delimiters <...> useless.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english,french]{babel}
\frenchbsetup{FrenchFootnotes=false}
\usepackage[hang,multiple]{footmisc}
\renewcommand{\footnotelayout}{\raggedright} % for having raggedright footnotes
\usepackage[hyperfootnotes=false]{hyperref}

The suggested code is wrong:
should be (the second line below is just to show the proper position of the missing brace)
and not
as you did.
