Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Rob Poe]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050531 Firefox/1.0+

In Groupwise, when one clicks on a link (with the Deer Park build) in a
Groupwise mail message, with Deer Park browser being the Windows Default
browser, an error message comes up "The file /c:/novell/groupwise/www.domain.com
cannot be found.  Please check the location and try again."

This link in the Groupwise message is NOT prefaced by a proper http://  

Firefox 1.0x does NOT exhibit this issue.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open a link in Groupwise (I'm using 6.5SP4) not prefaced with an http://
while using Deer Park as the Windows default browser (so the link opens Deer Park).

Actual Results:  
The error message in details was shown.

Expected Results:  
Opened the link as if one had typed in the location bar just www.domain.com

if the message is stored on C: why should FF go to http: even though you are not
linking to http: ?

But grasshopper .. the link is not ON the C: drive.  I can post a screen shot if
you'd like.
