Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core Graveyard :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Joachim Noreiko]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

When I click on a .torrent link, Mozilla opens the "how to handle file type"
dialog. I select "open with the default application" (my Bit Torrent client),
and this opens, as expected.
However, once this has opening, I get a pop-up message box from Mozilla saying:

"{my temp folder}\{link I wanted} could not be opened, because the associated
helper does not exist." etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a .torrent link
2. choose the application to open it

I have just installed Azureus, and the same thing happens.

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
