User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: version 0.9 (20041103) also version 1.0RC1 (20041201)

RedHat 9.0
This just stated happening with 0.9. Is not corrected with 1.0RC1.

When I receive an email with multiple HTML attachements, I can only open one at
a time. Prior to 0.9, as I clicked on each one, a different tab was opened in
FF. Now when I click on the second one (or if FB is already open), a white
square flashes up and then disapears, but no additional tab or window is opened
for the attachement. The order they are opened does not seem to matter. Once any
one of them is opened, then others can not be opened at the same time. 
Multiple links in an email work, it's just the attachments that do not.
The second attachment IS written to the /tmp directory and can be opened from
there if I type in the url in a new tab:
Such as: file:///tmp/pd33Winterur.htm

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Receive email with multiple email attachemnts
2. Open first one (with FB)
3. Try to open second attachment without closing first attachment.

Actual Results:  
A small flash and then nothing. No change in FB windows.

Expected Results:  
Should have opened a new tab in my open browser. (This is the default action in
my script and does work correctly if opening multiple email address that are
list in the email.

Backing out Firefox to the preview release removes the problem.
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910 Firefox/0.10.1
So, I don't know if it is a FF bug or a change in FF that TB needs to code for.

Is this still an issue with 1.0.6 versions of Firefox and Thunderbird?
With trunk builds?

Every time I look at migrating to the latest trunks, I see enough posts about
issues that I am afraid to upgrade.

Reporter, does the issue still exist in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest 2.0.0.x is version 2.0.0.16)

I can not reproduce the error using 2.0.0.9 at this time.
