264148 - mozilla and camino won't open .webloc files properly while another program is the default web browser

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 242934

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

[Jerry Segers, Jr.]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

If safari is the default web browser, camino and mozilla open the .webloc file
itself (blank page) and mozilla is not in the recomended applications for
.webloc files (you have to change the "enable" pop-down to "all applications" to
even try this)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure an application other than the one being tested is the default web
browser (Safari preferences sets this for no obvious reason) (mozilla default to
test camino and vice-versa is fine)
2. Drag a link to the desktop to create a .webloc file
3. Right click the file and open with mozilla or camino

Actual Results:  
opens the .webloc file itself (blank page)
and in mozilla's case requires that you make it show you all applications to
select mozilla

Expected Results:  
open the url contained in the .webloc just like it does when it is the default
browser.
for mozilla only: make it show up directly in the "open with" context menu

Mac OS 10.3.5

If either of those is true, I apologize.  I really did try to search before
posting.  Also, sorry for posting a double bug.  I don't know what's wrong with
me today. :(

Looks to me like it's the same basic bug as #242934 (like you guessed). A
special handling of .weblock files opened via the standard actions (drop on icon
or "open with") should be made, I think.
