249901 - Double window launched when clicking an embedded email link.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 246078

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Peggi Rodgers]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040614 Firefox/0.9
Build Identifier: Firefox/0.9

When I click an embedded URL link in an incoming message using Eudora 6.0.3.0 (I
have not tested with Outlook or Outlook Express) Firefox (my default browser)
opens a new window to display the URL.  However, at the same time, it spawns a
second window that launches IE which then points to the URL.  I'm saying this
happens every time because the drop down choices don't offer a match.  This
event occurs nearly every time.  But I cannot find a correlation for the times
it does not.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Incoming email message in Eudora contains an URL link
2.Click the link to launch the browser and view the URL
3.

Actual Results:  
Firefox launched and open the URL, then IE launched into the onFocus position
and opened the URL.

Expected Results:  
Only Firefox should have opened to visit the URL.

I have friends who've experienced the same problem only they have had Firefox
open two windows rather than the Firefox and IE combination I've experienced.

I have uninstalled Firefox (including all associated folders) twice and
reinstalled with no change in the results.  I have also checked all
configuration settings in IE and Eudora and found no discrepancy that will cause
this result.
