248712 - Error message from clicking on links in AIM.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246078

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Patrick Nance]

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

Using Firefox 0.9 as my default browser, if I click on a link in AIM (version
4.8.2790), I get an error message saying (for example): "http://www.google.com/;
program not found" (note the semicolon). Upon clicking the OK button, I get a
new window asking me to locate a program with which I'll open the website.
Interestingly, Firefox seems to be given the request to open the page and that
part is carried out without fail, it's just that the error message is shown.
This does not happen when Internet Explorer is my default browser nor did it
happen with Firefox 0.8.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set Firefox 0.9 as default browser.
2. Click a URL link in AIM

Actual Results:  
Error message, but URL was opened correctly.

Expected Results:  
Not given me an error message of any sort.
