1382543 - opening URLs from other applications doesn't work if seamonkey is running

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1379369

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[lvm]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0 SeaMonkey/2.53a1
Build ID: 20170711003903

Steps to reproduce:

prerequisites: preferences-browser-link behaviour-links from other applications is set to 'a new tab in the current window'

start seamonkey
click on an URL hyperlink in another application (e.g. libreoffice writer or MS outlook)



Actual results:

a new blank seamonkey window opens, clicked URL is not opened neither in the old nor in the new window


Expected results:

clicked URL should've been opened in a new tab of the current window as it did in all previous versions up to 2.52. If seamonkey 2.53 was not started prior to the test, clicked URL also opens fine as a new tab in the only window in addition to stored tabs, issue occurs only if seamonkey is already running.

windows 7-32

DUP of "Bug 1380566 - Click on web link opens predefined Home page instead of link target", which itself is a DUP of "Bug 1379369 - Port Bug 1364016 [Have _openURIInNewTab() provide the correct triggeringPrincipal] to SeaMonkey"
