Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 192849

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Rick Middlebrooks]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

If I drag the web location from the address bar to the desktop, creating an
icon, then close the browser, subsequently double-clicking the icon for the web
location opens the browser with the home page, but doesn't load the web location
selected. However, if the browser is already open, double-clicking the desktop
icon will open a new window with the selected web location displayed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Drag a web location address from the address bar to the desktop.
2. Close the browser.
3. Double-click the web location's icon on the desktop.

Actual Results:  
The browser opened with its home page displayed.

Expected Results:  
The browser should have opened with the selected web location displayed.

If the browser is already open, then double-clicking a web location icon opens a
new window with the expected selected web location.

Since I can't open a web location, other than the home page, without the browser
being open already, I'm going back to Mozilla 1.2.1 until it's fixed.
