Please try the most recent nightly build, as recommended in the bug filing
guidelines. I believe this issue is fixed.

gene, can you provide an example URL or testcase attachment?

Comment 3

Attachment: Flash movie containing getURL link

Button should open a new window with the URL:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/chimera/

Works when run within Navigator. Does not work when run via external Flash
Player.

I don't seem to have a Flash Player, but accessing the Flash attachment URL in
the QuickTime Player does open the new window as expected in the default web
browser I set in the System/Internet preferences, whether that's Mozilla,
Chimera, or otherwise.

Thus, this WorksForMe using FizzillaCFM/2002092611 on 10.1.5.

Er, and Chimera/2002092304.

Was probably a default browser issue. Look for console output when clicking the
URL link.
