Description

[Rick Contestabile]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.7) Gecko/20070914 Firefox/2.0.0.7
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.6 (20070728)

I allowed Thunderbird to update on my Slackware 12.0 system on Pentium 6. Immediately afterwards, clicking on HTML references in email failed to do ANYTHING.
You gave me some **** before about checking for default browser and using multiple browsers. I say that it is up to you when updaing NOT to destroy this parameterization. You maintain all other references- THIS one should persist also.
Please fix it.
Thanks,
Rick Contestabile

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Update from 2.0.0.4 too 2.0.0.6
2.Click on an HTML reference in email.
3. Wait forever for NOTHING to happen..........
Actual Results:  
NA

Expected Results:  
NAI

I got same lame **** about it was NOT a bug. However, it happens- all under the ageis of Thunderbird updating 2.0.0.4 to 2.0.0.6. It should not. The only actions performed were the Thunderbird update. Seems like a bug to me........

There is no Linux installer. Moving to Thunderbird General.

Did you receive the update from your distro or via Software Update?

Did this persist in newer updates?
