not a dupe.
bug 299444 is for opening URLs from other applications and is older.  this is a
regression from bug 299901

hmm.  This is now worksforme on linux.  Maybe I fixed both of these (at least
for me) in bug 299444 after all.

Tobias: are you still seeing this?

Hmm, no, it was working for me too now using 2005071119. Sorry for my delay, i
have trouble at work at moment and will be away for holidays from 07-15 to
07-30, so I am very short on testing. :(

I would like to mark this as resolved=worksforme while I think this was fixed
with your patch for Bug 299444. 
Feel free to reopen or file a new one when this issue occours again.
