bug 217875 was about Mozilla blocking, because the window was modal. This is not
the case anymore so that bug is fixed and this bug should still be open? Or is
217875 still open because of comment #2?
I'm lost...

Sorry, my fault, you're right.
This bug is about the blank window that should point to the appropriate page.
This is not fixed by the patch in bug 217875 so we still need this bug.

The reason is that we try to open 'urn:clienturl:composer:spellcheckers', which
should be defined at
http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/global/resources/locale/en-US/builtinURLs.rdf#51
. But it's defined as about:blank, so that's no surprise it doesn't work.

This should be easy to fix, if we can find a good location that won't ever
change (a redirect at mozilla.org for example). See bug 217875 comment 9.
