(Firefox :: Shell Integration, defect)

Description

[gmccall]

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

I have an address toolbar on my Windows taskbar (to enable this, simply
right-click on the taskbar and hit Toolbars]Address). When MSIE is set as the
default browser, entering a URL into the address bar and hitting Enter will open
an MSIE window (even if MSIE is closed) and navigate to this location. When
Firefox is set as the default browser, the same action will cause *two* windows
to open and navigate to the selected URL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Standard install, no extensions.
2. Set Firefox as default browser.
3. Right-click the taskbar, point to Toolbars, and hit Address.
4. In the new address toolbar, type any URL and hit Enter.

Actual Results:  
Two Firefox windows open and navigate to the URL entered.

Expected Results:  
One Firefox window should open and navigate to the URL.

Using default theme.
