157527 - Error page gets displayed in Mail Window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 199360

(Core :: DOM: Navigation, defect)

Description

[Pratik]

This happens when error pages are enabled (see bug 28586). When I click on an
invalid URL in an email, the error page gets displayed in the message area.

Steps to Reproduce
1. Add user_pref("browser.xul.error_pages.enabled", true); to your pref/user.js
2. Send a mail to yourself which has an invalid URL
3. Click on the link

Expected Result: The error page should get displayed in the browser window/tab.

Actual Result: The Error page gets displayed in mail window.

e.g. if you see this in Mozilla Mail/News, try clicking on this URL

Low priority (error pages haven't even been implemented)

Comment 2

They have been implemented, just not enabled.

Targetted links such as in the mail window might require a change in how the
error page is pushed out. The error should appear in the proper target window.

There is a general problem with how the links get loaded from Mail window -
instead of being loaded in a browser window right away, the loading process
"switches" to the browser window when the data starts arriving. This causes an
array of problems (such as URL loading aborts if you select another message
befor window "switch" happens), this one being among them. I am not sure if
there is already a bug on the "underlying" problem, but if there is, it should
be marked as a dependency of this one.
