Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Toolkit :: Startup and Profile System, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040808 Firefox/0.9.3

This is related to but not the same as bug 263701. When attempting to load a
file url from the command line e.g. firefox abc.html, firefox fails with a file
not found dialog box. After manually opening the file or any other in that
directory then firefox does find the file on subsequent command line invokations
as long as firefox continues to run. Exit firefox and the problem reoccurs. This
problem does not exist in mozilla, so the command 'mozilla abc.html' always
works in the same context.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. close all firefox windows
2. go to a directory with an html file
3. type 'firefix htmlfile.html'

Actual Results:  
See details.

Expected Results:

Can I get this tested on trunk? I'm pretty sure that the command-line handling
stuff has fixed all this.
