User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-GB; rv:1.7.10) Gecko/20050717 Firefox/1.0.6
When launching Firefox on the command line, one can specify the start page. The
following work fine:
firefox.exe http://google.com
firefox.exe about:config
But opening an chrome URL fails:
firefox.exe chrome://jslib/content/icons/jslib-icon.png
(this assumes that one has jslib installed)
No error message is printed, no browser window opens. The computer churns for a
few seconds but nothing appears.
This is new. Firefox 1.0.4 would open a chrome URL without problems. Firefox
1.0.6 does not. This completely smashes the application we've developed, in
that our clients can no longer launch it.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Verify that chrome://jslib/content/icons/jslib-icon.png can be loaded.
2. Close Firefox.
3. On the command line type:
firefox.exe chrome://jslib/content/icons/jslib-icon.png
Actual Results:
Nothing happens.
Expected Results:
Firefox should open and display the PNG.
We've seen this in Windows 2000, and our clients are reporting the same in XP.
I believe this was done deliberatly to bypass a possible security bug, it's
still locked at the moment but Bug 298255 will have more details when it's
unlocked. See http://www.mozilla.org/security/announce/mfsa2005-53.html for now.
You can bypass this by explicitly specifying the -chrome switch, e.g.:
firefox.exe -chrome chrome://jslib/content/icons/jslib-icon.png
