[John Maline]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030926 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20030926 Firebird/0.7

I click a link an an HTML mail in Apple's Mail application.  Actually it works
in the text version too.  URL is http://www.deanforamerica.com/contributenow.

Firebird is already running.  Instead of getting a new browser window showing
that URL, I get a window with the following error:

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

<window id="main-window"
^

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read e-mail in Mail w/ http://www.deanforamerica.com/contributenow url in body
2. Have Firebird configured as default web browser in internet Preferences
3. Click that URL in Mail app

Actual Results:  
Got error window

Expected Results:  
Should get Firebird window with that URL displayed

Checked what happens if Firebird not running.  I clicked link in Mail and page
launched successfully.

Then I clicked again (w/ Firebird still running).  I got error window.

Sorry, looks like a dup.  My first search didn't show anything I recognized. 
More searching turned up http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=210553#c3
that seems to match my report pretty exactly.
