101569 - page requested from external application is not requested in spawned browser window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

From Bugzilla Helper:

When spawning mozilla from an external application (e.g. Eudora) Mozilla
does not render the requested page but opens a new window both rendering the
preconfigured home page.
This bug only happens when Mozilla is already opened. 
In case Mozilla is closed, the first request from an external application is
handled correctly. However in this case Mozilla opens two windows - one showing
the preconfigured home page - one showing the requested link. I guess this has
been already addressed. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open Mozilla
2.Open external application (e.g. Eudora)
3.Request an URL through the external application (e.g. Click on a link embedded
in an email received by Eudora)

Actual Results:  See description

Expected Results:  Requesting and rendering the link handed over by the external
application.

Marking WFM 2001101909 on Win2k (w/ Eudora as well).

Reporter: Please try a more recent build:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32-talkback.zip
(as always, be sure to delete your old Mozilla directory before installing the
new one)

I would also recommend trying a fresh profile (that's what fixed the problem for
me). You can manage/create profiles with "mozilla.exe -profilemanager".
