BuildID:    2001022311

Dragging website shortcuts from windows to a mozilla window no longer opens the
site.  Instead, sometimes there is a blank page with info such as: [DEFAULT]
BASEURL=http://XXXX.com/guides/3906/walkthrough.html
[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://XXXX.com/guides/3906/walkthrough.html
Modified=C035D6767DA0C0011F

and most times it gives the download dialog asking how to handle the file (Open
with or save to disk).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Find shortcut to a web site
2.Drag it to a mozilla browser window
3.Gaze in horror as the web site fails to open

Actual Results:  Text info of url is dieplayed or download dialog pops up asking
how to handle file

Expected Results:  Web site should open
updating component.  probably a duplicate.

Ben, could you please re-try this with a latest build? That would be greatly
appreciated, thank you!
Hi, I still get the error.  Can anyone reproduce it?  Is it just me?  I went for
two weeks with half of web site graphics not showing up on mozilla, thinking it
was a bug, when erasing my prefs file fixed it.  This problem remains (for me)
in teh 2001031204 build.
Confirming, I see this on 2001-03-10-08, Windows 2000.

Steps I did to reproduce:
1. Right click on desktop, go to New, then select Shortcut.
2. In the "Type the location of the item:" box, enter
'http://www.mozillazine.org'. Click Next.
3. In the "Type a name for this shortcut" box, enter 'Mozillazine'. Click Finish.
4. Open a new Mozilla window, minimize until you see the desktop. Drag the icon
to the Mozilla window in the taskbar, Mozilla opens. Drop it into the page. The
page looks like this:

[InternetShortcut]
URL=http://www.mozillazine.org/
Modified=708C406045ABC0014D

with a URL (on my machine) of
"file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/Desktop/Mozillazine.url".

Expected results are, obviously, redirecting to Mozillazine.org. Not sure if
it's a dupe, but it is reproducible on Windows 2000.
