Don't know if this is a support question or a bug…However, after installing a
lot of useful extensions (e.g., Tabbrowser Extensions and Tabbrowser
Preferences) clicking a http-address in an external application (like Eudora,
First Class or ICQ) or using the "open http://my.url" in the terminal does not
load the page in Firebird. Firebird gets focus and the cursor changes to the
arrow with the black & white-wait wheel and remains so until I move the mouse
when it reverts back to the normal arrow, but the page never loads.

I have disabled all the extensions I installed and restarted Firebird. I also
has removed all lines containing anything with "tab" in them in prefs.js but the
 problems remain.

There is no output in the Console.

After installing all extensions I changed some settings in Firebird. The
settings I suspect are most related to this problem was related to tabbed
browsing, I wanted new and pop-up windows to open in new tabs rather than in new
windows. Furthermore, installing these tabbed browsing extensions enabled
cmd-click and middle-click to open a new tab (which has never worked for me in
Firebird).

I believe these are all details I know of, let me know if you have some questions,

Reporter,

Please try with a clean install and a clean profile. If things work there then
this bug is INVALID as the problem lies with a bad extension. Please then
reinstall the extensions you are using 1 by one and retest each time to see
which one is causing the problem and then notify that extensions author of the
problem.

Leaving bug open for now to allow for response on the first point (working with
clean install)

sounds a lot like bug 210553 to me.  try again with fresh profile, if it still
happens mark as duplicate.
