Description

[Pinguin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

If i try to access a webpage by using an address bar on the taskbar, Firefox
opens two identical windows, and Windows returns an error stating that the
website cannot be found. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Get the address bar in the taskbar by adding it as a toolbar.
2. Tell the address bar to browse to a website
3. Hit return.


Actual Results:  
Firefox browses to the specified website (www.google.com in this example) in two
separate windows, and Winblows tells the user "Windows cannot find
'http://www.google.com/'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try
again. To search for a file, click the Start button, and then click Search."

Expected Results:  
Should have opened www.google.com in a single window (or new tab, depending on
configuration).

Bug has occured on every computer i have tried to reproduce it on (all of them XP).
