Build 2002100808
WinXP
Bi-Athlon 1900+

I'm using Trillian (http://www.ceruleanstudios.com) with the News plugin (RSS
reader). When I double click on a news, it opens the default browser to page of
the article. If Mozilla wasn't loaded and I try to open two articles, I get a
weird result:
1. The mozilla windows are slightly bigger than usual. It usually the size of
the desktop.
2. The first window to appear is blank, uses the default mozilla icons instead
of the browser icon and the navigation bar is empty
3. The second window has the first article loaded correctly but has the
navigation bar empty too.
4. I can't enter anything in the navigation bar of those two windows.

I stumble on this bug quite easily but fails to reproduce it reliably. I don't
know if the fact that I have a bi-processor helps or not.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make Mozilla your default browser
2. Exit any Mozilla session, maybe even Quicklaunch (I don't use it)
3. Maybe copy some big files or open some big applications so that Mozilla isn't
in the Windows file cache. I always get the bug when Mozilla has been closed for
a while.
4. Open quickly two webpages. I got it to work a couple times when I tried to
open a local html file.

Actual results:
  see above and the two screenshots
  

I suspect a problem with the "one mozilla instance" system (DDE?). Somehow,
Mozilla accepts the second URL request when it's not quite ready to handle it.
Since the second window has the first article, so I assume that the first window
to appear (the empty one) is for the second article. 
I speculate that a Mozilla thread thinks that something is ready while it isn't,
so when it tries to get the html page, it fails but not deterred by that, it
still displays a window. 
As for the first link, the thread handling it knows that the "something" isn't
ready and so waits for it before loading the page. That would explain why the
*first* article shows up in the *second* window.
But this speculation doesn't explain the unresponsive navigation bar nor the
unsual size of the window.


PS: And if someone can come up with a better summary.....
Attached image First window
This is the first window to appear. Note the incorrect size (the window should
fit the desktop (as obtain when "Tiling Windows Horizontally" with only one
window visible))
Attached image Second Window
Second window to appear. Contains the page of the first selected article.
Nahor, are you still seeing this problem with a newer release (1.2.1 or 1.3a) of
Mozilla?
Yes (trunk build 2003012404)
Nahor, is this still an issue with a current build?
I haven't used Mozilla for a while, I use Firebird now.
It's still an issue in Firebird build 20031101.

I'll give it a try with Mozilla again and a more recent version of Firebird.
Yep, still an issue with Mozilla 2003112508.

One thing changed however, the second window is now the correct size.

Also, I now have a multimonitor setup with one monitor in 1024x768 and the other
in 1280x1024. The first window is a bit bigger than my desktop, i.e. a bit over
2304 pixels wide. The normal size is 1280x1024 (minus the taskbar) to fit on my
primary monitor.
I don't know if this is new or not, I didn't have multiple monitors when I
opened this bug
Nahor, still seeing this in 1.6 or newer?

Seems like similar symptoms as bug 204752 or 230845.

Still an issue with Firebird and Mozilla
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040128
Firebird/0.8.0+)
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7a) Gecko/20040203)


> Seems like similar symptoms as bug 204752 or 230845.
It is similar to 230845 except that opening only one page works fine for me. I
have a problem only when I try to open a second link while the first isn't fully
loaded yet. I assume that either the author of bug 230845 is double-clicking
when single would be enough or that thunderbird is trying to open the link twice
for some reasons.
So bug 230845 can be marked as duplicate of this one.

As for bug 204752, I'm not sure it is the same problem. Mine triggers only when
Mozilla isn't already running. The other bug has Mozilla already running. Mine
was already present in 2002-10-14. The other says that it's new after 2003-04-30.
As for comment 204752#c3, it's bug 119131.
