1450339 - Links from Thunderbird cannot be always opened in Firefox

Status: NEW

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect, P5)

Description

[firefox]

Attachment: Error message when I click a link in Thunderbird

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:59.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/59.0
Build ID: 20180315233128

Steps to reproduce:

Firefox (Quantum 64 bits) is my default browser. I am running 2 instances of Thunderbird (yes, Thunderbird) using the "p" and "noremote" options.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe" -p -no-remote

When I click on a link in a Thunderbird mail, I get a popup (attached pictured) and the link does not open in Firefox.

Before I used the "p" and "noremote" option, all was working fine.

If I setup Chrome or Opera as "default browser" the link opens correctly, so the problem comes from Firefox.

Thank you! 


Actual results:

Link does not open, and I get an error popup (attached file)


Expected results:

Link should open...

I was able reproduce this issue. Putting this under toolkit:Startup and Profile System so dev can look into it. Feel free to change it to more app component.

Cannot find it in the database, no update at all?

Since this issue affects a non-default configuration, it is lower priority, and we may not be able to look into it soon.

Well, considering the "quality" of the reply that means "we don't care" I am glad to have moved to Opera :)
