Description

[Jon Wolf]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030720 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030720 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

When I click on a link to a file of the type .torrent, I get a requestor asking
what to do with it. I select "Open it with" and I put in
"g:\shadow\5.5\btdownloadgui.py --max_upload_rate 3 --responsefile" and click ok
and I get a requestor saying ...

The application you specified ("g:\shadow\5.5\btdownloadgui.py --max_upload_rate
3 --responsefile") could not be found. Check the name or select another application.

When you specify a file and then options, it gives an error so you can never use
it to run something in that mannor.

This bug also effects Mozilla 1.4 final release. 
Mozilla 1.4
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030624

And I did try quoting it. No good.
