User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

DjVu is a plugin "for Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator" which
enables viewing of DjVu documents. Having my default browser set to FFox it
tried to open itself in it. Unfortunately, FFox then began to open a new tab for
every page of the document. in MS-IE it is one document which scrolls through
all the pages. The above URL is where the viewer plug-in can be downloaded from.

The problem repeated itself 3 times and unfortunately the document was over 100
pages long!

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install latest DjVu plug-in
2.Try to open DjVu document
3.Lots of tabs begin to open :{

Actual Results:  
Multi-tabs opened..

Expected Results:  
Open 1 window/tab and let me scroll through the document

Solution was to default DjVu files to open in MS-IE not FFox - regretable

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

Hi. I originally reported this bug, but as I don't use DjVu very often have not
had it occur since - regretably have had to set DjVu files to open in MSIE :{

Tested them today on Firefox 1.0.7 for Windows and the latest download of DjVu
(6.0.0)but the problem is still there (even though Lizardtech state, "It runs
inside most modern browsers including IE, Firefox and Safari".

If someone could look at it in time it would be good. Don't know how many people
know of DjVu though. Will copy this to Lizardtech.

Randall, do you still see this problem with the latest version of Firefox (2.0.0.3 at the time of this writing) and with the latest version of DjVu?

Closing as INCOMPLETE. If you can provide more information and can reproduce using Firefox 2.0.0.3 or later with a clean profile (and with the latest version of DjVu installed), please comment and reopen.
