(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Hilary]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040707 Firefox/0.9.2

When I click on a link in e-mail (Eudora 5.2) Firefox is alunched and Open
Office tries to open the page.  Open .Office then posts an Error window saying
that it cannot open the window.  After cancelling Open Office windows, I
continue browsing as usual.  This pattern is never repeated in Internet Explorer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Click on link contained in an e-mail message
2.Wait for Firefox to launch
3.Open Office immediately tries to open the document
4.  Open Office says it cannot open the document
5.  Cancel Open Office window
6.  Continue Internet browsing
Actual Results:  
I continued to browse using Firefox with no further problem until I wanted to
open another link contained in an e-mail

Expected Results:  
Link from e-mail should have opened directly into Firefox, just as links open
into Internet Explorer when is is the defsult browser.
