When you launch a url from a seperate application as IRC chat, it will launch up
firefox and work correctly if there are no browsers currently open. If there is
a download manager currently open and firefox is closed then it will try to
bring up the url in the download manager. This creates a problem, since the
download manager doesn't display the information. See if you can fix this and
figure out what I am talking about. If you need more explaination let me know.
Thanks!

normal theme, happens on every compute
