User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061223 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061223 Firefox/2.0.0.1

When on this page, click on the "TAKE ME TO BERKELEY ON ITUNES U ->"  link.

It starts iTunes all-right, but never redirects to the "Berkeley on iTunes U" store.

This is also a problem on Camino 1.0.3.

The link in the javascript call :

javascript:openWindow('https://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/browse/berkeley.edu','_blank',400,250,0);

changes to an itmss://.... link which itunes is supposed to understand and open, but the link doesn't seemed to be sent to iTunes !!

This works in Safari (of course !)

Thanks,

Richard

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details.
Actual Results:  
A popup opens with an OK message, iTunes is started but not redirected to the Berkeley Itunes store.

Expected Results:  
Automatic re-direction to Berkeley on iTunes U.
