I just tested the 0.3 official release for Linux (french).

In an event, i have an website url.
When I click on the button "Visit URL" ("Visitez l'URL" in french), nothing happens.
I juste have, in console :
run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute ./mozilla-firefox-bin.

By modifying run-mozilla.sh, i can see that the executed command line is :
./run-mozilla.sh ./mozilla-firefox-bin http://myurl.com/

I didn't manage to make it work.
I tried :
# ln -s /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox mozilla-firefox-bin
# ln -s /usr/lib/[FF version]/mozilla-firefox-bin
# cp /usr/lib/[FF version]/mozilla-firefox-bin .

I hope i give enough details.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make an url in an event
2. open this event for editing
3. click on "More"
4. try to visit the URL by clickin the button

Actual Results:  
nothing happens

Expected Results:  
The URL is opened with Firefox (or Iceweasel ;) just kidding...)

I can confirm this bug by the nightly build of 2006-12-05 (linux)

Confirmed by comment#1.

Comment 3

[Damian Szczepanik]

can confirm with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5pre) Gecko/20070707 Calendar/0.7pre

with error:
Error: launchBrowser is not defined
Source File: chrome://calendar/content/calendar-event-dialog.js
Line: 1167

it works with previous release

Since we are switching to the new event dialog, can you confirm this with the prototype event dialog?

(In reply to comment #3 and #4)

The new issue Damian sees is a regression from Bug 346762. Function launchBrowser() is defined in applicationUtil.js but is no longer included in calendar-event-dialog.xul and no longer shipped with Lightning. The prototype dialog also calls launchBrowser() and therefore should shows the same issue.

with prototype works fine, so the problem is only with old dialog

Comment 7

[Stefan Sitter [:ssitter]]

(In reply to comment #6)

Bug 371917 added applicationUtils.js that contains launchBrowser() back to Lightning. Therefore the issue from Comment #3 and Bug 389250 is gone now. 

Comment #3 to #7 are not related to the issue reported in Comment #0.
