Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: File Handling, defect)

Description

[Alfred F. Lilly]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.7.9) Gecko/20050711 Firefox/1.0.5

When I use Firefox to access my local cable Web page and click on any tab,
Firefox displays two windows, one upon the other.

If I use Internet Explorer to do the same, this does not occur.

I have uninstalled Firefox and loaded the latest version, 1.05.  The above still
occurs.

Reproducible: Always




I am using a Hewlett Packard Pavilion Model 6638, running Windows 98 SE, with
198 Meg of memory.  Small but good system....somewhat old but still running.

I couldn't reproduce this in the latest trunk.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b4) Gecko/20050717
Firefox/1.0+

Could you see if this still occurs using a nightly build and clean profile on
your computer.

Tthis is a very strange bug which is probably caused by an extention or bad
javascript on weather.com's part.

do you still see this problem when using firefox version 3.5 or 3.6?
If not, please close the bug (resolution WORKSFORME is one possibility).
And if you do see the problem, please provide an update comment.

No reply, INCOMPLETE. Please retest with Firefox 3.6.x or later and a new profile (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Managing+profiles). If you continue to see this issue with the newest firefox and a new profile, then please comment on this bug.
