187793 - Executing -remote openurl(url) will create a window in the style of the currently focused window

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Michael Bacarella]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021207 Phoenix/0.5

Go to a site with a popup window. Focus the popup window. Then execute phoenix
-remote openurl(http://www.yahoo.com/). Instead of creating a full browser
window to display Yahoo!, Phoenix will display Yahoo! within that popup window.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Should be sufficiently explained by the description.


Expected Results:  
I was expecting it to create a new "full" browser window to display the -remote
openurl(...) page in.

i believe adding this line to your user.js file should fix the problem:
user_pref("advanced.system.supportDDEExec", false);

Dupe of bug 170609?

Reporter:
Does it still occur on Phoenix and Mozilla recent nightly builds?

Comment 4

[Mike Connor [:mconnor]]

looks like a dupe of 170609, or this is WFM since I couldn't reproduce it. 
Given the ten weeks since the last update, marking WORKSFORME since it doesn't
quite seem to be a dupe of the other one.
