(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Doug Hockin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050317 Firefox/1.0.2

When one clicks on a URL in another application, two FireFox windows appear. 
The first is an old window, already in use (in my case the window had been
minimized into the task bar).  The second is a new window with the clicked
URL -- this second one ends up in front with the other one behind it.

Have seen it happen with Thunderbird and AVG.

Originally reported as a Thunderbird bug, see bug 261087.

Firefox 1.0.2, Thunderbird 1.0.2 on Windows XP.

AVG 7.0 Professional, version 7.0.308.  To reproduce with AVG, click on
Information->Register on the Web.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Firefox window and minimize it on the task bar
2. Left click on a URL in another application.

Actual Results:  
Two FireFox windows pop up, first the old one, followed by the new one
with the URL in front of it.



Expected Results:  
Only the single new window with the clicked URL should have popped up.
