Last line. Why netstat became defunct after some time? After that remote refuse
to work. It may be problems in my Linux. So you can close this bug.

I also have seen this behaviour since RC2, although I have never timed it.  I
just know that after a while, external links popup the profile manager.

I am experiencing the same problem. After some time the links I open from
Thunderbird or Gaim pop up the profile manager instead of FF.

Since version 1.0.1 (maybe earlier) I've never notice that bug. So I think you
can close it.
