User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.10) Gecko/2009042316 Firefox/3.0.10 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Build Identifier: I installed Firefox 3.1. I opened files containing DDE links to an online stock quote website and the links proved unavailable. I clicked edit, links and attempted to update one by one but they won't update. I uninstalled 3.1 and went back to 2.4.2 and they worked like a charm. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.I opened files that had previously saved DDE links and they failed to operate. 2.I closed openoffice and reopened files and had same failure. 3.I tried recreating new files with DDE links and they failed. Actual Results: Uninstalling 3.1 and reinstalling 2.4 fixed the issue for me. Expected Results: Obvious bug Other relevant information includes the fact that when I moved around a large number of inoperable DDE cells, application crashed over and over. While using 2.4, moving the same amount of data leads to no crash. To me that means that while the 3.1 cells weren't producing results, they were unstable enough to lead to crash.
