58826 - ./netscape mailto:[email] opens a browser window, too

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core Graveyard :: Cmd-line Features, defect, P3)

Description

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

while trying to narrow down bug 58810, found another one: when launching the
following, a blank browser window appears --in addition to the mail composition
window:

./netscape mailto:[e-mail]

[any email addy would do.]

adding ducarroz.

I haven't debugged yet, but my guess is the problem is on startup we are
automatically launching a browser window and then when we call the content
handler for the mailto url, we bring up compose.

adding mscott and alecf.

Netscape Nav triage team: this is not a Netscape beta stopper.

sairuh: Is this a dupe of bug 59078 ?

Comment 6

[sairuh (rarely reading bugmail)]

matti, i don't think this would be a dup of bug 59078 [which seems to pertain to
desktop/windows integration], other than both have a blank browser window [or
two] appear. however, does anyone else think they'd be related on a lower level?

matti: nope, that's different, this is a uri dispatcher issue, the intergation 
issue is us asking windows to tell us to load two windows and then being 
surprised when we do what we said...

Just installed 1.7rc1, while mailto: as such now works much better then before,
thanks!

It is a pitty that this blank navigator window stays open.

See you

sorry for the spam.  making bugzilla reflect reality as I'm not working on these bugs.  filter on FOOBARCHEESE to remove these in bulk.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9pre) Gecko/2008033101 SeaMonkey/2.0a1pre

Trying
    seamonkey mailto:[e-mail]
with SeaMonkey already running (both Browser and MailNews). It opened both a mail compose window and a new tab (not about:blank but empty i.e., plain greyish, not white, content, nothing in the URL bar, hovering the mouse over the tab says "(Untitled)").

Shouldn't this bug's QAC be reset to default, [e-mail] ? The current QAC is also the reporter; bug activity says it never changed.

P.S. I suspect this is related to bug 97032 (dupe or no dupe?)
