If the browser is open and I open the address book by clicking the button at the
bottom of the browser, using the windows menu or typing ctl+5, the address book
opens and then the browser goes from what ever page it is at (even about:blank)
to <http://www.imf.org/external/np/vc/2002/070202.htm>. I did visit this page
once voluntairily. I have looked in the js files and cannot find this URL. This
does not happen when I open the address book from a compose mail message window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.open browser window
2.open address book by clicking button in lower left hand corner or using winows
menu or typing ctl+5
3.

http://www.imf.org/external/np/vc/2002/070202.htm 

Expected Results:  
open address book without side effect on browser.

Robert, the build you are using (1.0.0) is quite old.
Can you try it with a current build and report if that problem still occurs?
If so, please try also with a newly created profile.
