227897 - Clicking on URL in email opens two windows in Firebird

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[user245]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: .4 milestone


I just installed .4 now my computer does this when I click on an URL in an email:

1. It opens up the page properly as before.

2. It opens up another firebird window from my temp directory:

file:///C:/DOCUME~1/USERNAME/LOCALS~1/TEMP

FWIW Firebird called the second file MozillaHTML and I stupidly set it to open
automatically, thus the second page. Regardless, a dialogue box asking what to
do with this file appeared behind the browser window that already loaded the page.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See above
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Two browser windows open.

Expected Results:  
One browser window should open.

I have just retested this with Tbird 0.7.3 - and now the url doesn't open at all
without a Firefox window already open.
When bug 221909 or bug 248811 is fixed - this behaviour should be checked to
make sure it is also fixed.
