522576 - Web links open in as many tabs as there are homepages

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: Tabbed Browser, defect)

Description

[Caleb Stein]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20091015 Minefield/3.7a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.3a1pre) Gecko/20091015 Minefield/3.7a1pre (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)

Whenever I have multiple homepages that open in multiple tabs in the latest trunk build, any web links I open from my hard-drive open in as many tabs as there are homepages.  For example, if I had two homepages and I opened a web link (.url file) to Bing, it would open two tabs of Bing instead of one.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install Minefield 3.7a1pre trunk build
2.Make a web link by dragging the url to the desktop.
3.go to settings and type in two homepages separated by the pipe symbol "|"
4.close minefield.
5.open the web link and it should open in two tabs.
Actual Results:  
The web link opened in two identical tabs.

Expected Results:  
The web link should have opened in one tab like it does in Firefox 3.5.

I was wrong, it is only reproducible sometimes.

I cannot reproduce your reported issue. Please make sure that no addon is causing this problem. So please run Firefox in Safe Mode (http://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode) and test a couple of times.

It may have been a one time thing, I cannot get it to reproduce either.  You can have this closed if you want.  It probably shouldn't matter now anyway because it would only happen on nightly builds.

Caleb, thanks for reporting back. If you will ever be able to reproduce this problem please try to get real steps to reproduce and run Firefox in Safe Mode. With that information reopen the bug. Until then I will close it as incomplete.
