Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 69114

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Josue Aron]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9+)
Gecko/20020424
BuildID:    2002042403

Normally (at least with Opera and MSIE) .URL files (internet shortcut files) can
be opened in the browser associated with them by simply double-clicking them in
Explorer.  If dragged and dropped, the link opens the same way.  With Mozilla,
if a .URL file is dragged and dropped onto Mozilla the file is interpreted and
the page is opened.  However, when opening the .URL with Mozilla from the
command-line, or after associating .URL files with Mozilla and double-clicking
it in Explorer, the contents of the .URL file are shown, rather than the link
that the .URL file points to.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a .URL file by right-clicking the desktop, selecting New->Shortcut,
and creating a shortcut to a web address.
3.  Open the .URL with Mozilla using the command-line ( C:\Program
Files\Mozilla.org\Mozilla.exe c:\shortcut.url ), or drag the .URL file onto a
shortcut for Mozilla, or associate .URL files with Mozilla and then double-click
the .URL file.

Actual Results:  The contents of the .URL file are shown in the Mozilla window.

Expected Results:  The page that the .URL file points to should have been shown.
