223401 - Web/Home hotkey fails to start Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 230717

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Andrew Rose]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031007 Firebird/0.7

The Microsoft Natural keyboard, along with a number of others, contains hot-keys
along the top for launching applications.  One such key is the "Web/Home" key
which launches the defaul web browser and opens the home page.  This works for
some browsers (including IE) but for Firebird.  If Firebird is the default
browser then pressing the hotkey causes the normal "overlay" indicating that a
hotkey has been pressed and the application should be starting but Firebird does
not start.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Firebird
2. Make Firebird default browser when prompted on first run
3. Press Web/Home key on natural keyboard.

Actual Results:  
Nothing.  (Not quite true.  The overlay appeared as described in "Details" above.)


Expected Results:  
Firebird should have started.
