21017 - [PREFS] Theme provider's site link loads into prefs panel

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Preferences, defect, P2)

Description

[Nick Meara]

Overview Description:

Clicking on the site link in the Themes preference panel loads the provider's
site into the panel replacing the UI.

Steps to Reproduce:

1) In the Prefs dialog select the Themes sub-item from the Appearance category.
2) In the Themes panel click on the link to the theme provider's site (in this
case mozilla.org).

Actual Results:

The mozilla.org homepage is loaded into the Themes panel completely replacing the
user interface elements.

Expected Results:

The mozilla.org homepage should be loaded into the frontmost browser window or a
new browser window. This may pose a problem, however, because the Prefs dialog is
modal.

verified fixed on winNT and linux using 2000010308. however, setting theme on mac

Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.
