Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 206936

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Tully]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20030929 Firebird/0.6.1 StumbleUpon/1.79

Firebird is my default browser as set in Internet prefs. When I click on a link
from within Entourage it opens Firebird but instead of opening the URL it opens
a popup window with the following error message:

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: chrome://navigator/content/navigator.xul
Line Number 46, Column 1:

<window id="main-window"
^

i tried searching for the file navigator.xul to see if there was a typo but
could not find it.

Between this bug and the bug where the first new window doesn't work i have no
choice but to revert to Safari again. please fix these asap! :)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on a link from an external program while Firebird is set as default
browser.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
get XML Parsing Error as described in Details above

Expected Results:  
should have opened the link referenced by the external app

default theme
web developer extension
StumpleUpon extension

er, there shouldn't BE a navigator/content/navigator.xul....

looks like bug 206936, actually, duping accordingly, please reopen if the fix
for that bug does not fix this.

to be honest, this sounds more like bug 210553 to me.  but i think all these
bugs are related somehow, fundamentally.  maybe this bug should be tracked
separately, it has distinct symptoms.  or, maybe there should be a "windows
opened from other apps broken" bug of which all of these could be duplicates.

in any case, its trying to open the old UI, which is a breakage, both bugs it
could be duped to are probably part and parcel of how stuff gets registered as a
default browser being horribly horribly broken on OS X :)
