115239 - Mozilla as default browser -> Win32 ShellExecute returns error

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 58770

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Juha Luoma]

Win32 API function ShellExecute can used to open the specified web page in the
default web browser. 
An example of such a function call is ShellExecute(hwnd, "open",
"http://www.company.com/", NULL, NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

According to the Win32 API documentation, ShellExecute returns a value greater
that 32 if it succeeds. 
But, when Mozilla is installed as the default web browser, ShellExecute return
an error 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND) even if the browser is started and the page is
displayed correctly.
