275325 - IRC Linking

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 239481

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[dlsc2111]

If you do a search for something one www.packetnews.com and come up with server
hits with different channels listed.  If you select a certain channel and it
opens up in mIRC and click on the next channel it opens the same link.  Works
fine in IE6.  Hope you can get that one straight.

See bug 239481 comment 1 for the reason why firefox does not do this. If you are
willing to have a less secure browser see bug 239481 comment 4 for a solution.
