User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9 After installing of Friefox 0.9, Windows XP gives an error dialog box when I open a shortrcut (.URL file): "Windows cannot find '[url]'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Satrt button, and then click Search." 1) I didn't type the name, I was opening an "InternetShortcut" file. 2) the page *does* open a new Firefox window Firefox is my default browser, chosen both by the MS-supplied method (in the Add/Remove Programs capplet) and from within Firefox ("Firefox doesn't appear to be your default browser..."). Also related, every time makes a new window appear. In Firefox 0.8, the shortcut opened in the current window (and, of course, there was no error dialog). This makes me wonder: is there a problem with DDE? Normally, I'd expect it to communicate with the current process instead of starting a new one (this also goes for links clicked within Outlook Express). Is this the same problem as the process communication under Linux? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a shortcut to a page (e.g. drag item from address bar to desktop) 2. double-click shortcut 3. profit! Actual Results: Error dialog appears, page opens in new window. Expected Results: Page should open in existing window, there should be no error dialog.
