310824 - [firefox.exe "url.com"] opens new window, [firefox.exe "http://url.com"] opens in current window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 309264

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[JP Senior]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050915 Firefox/1.0.7





Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. "c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" "www.google.com"
  - this opens a new window for Google.
2. "c:\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" "http://www.google.com"
  - this opens google in my current window.
3. "c"\program files\mozilla firefox\firefox.exe" "google.com"
  - This opens google in a new window.


Expected Results:  
Firefox should open the URL in the same window as expected.
If this should not be the case, firefox should be consistant enough to open the
URL in a new window.

Window behaviour for "www.site.com" and "http://site.com" should be identical.

This is a duplicate but I can't find the bug.
In the coming 1.5 Firefox opens the address in the same tab, in a new tab or in
a new window, according to the settings in Options > Tabs.
