66436 - double-clicking local html file opens two browser windows

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 59078

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[James Paige]

Build 2001012404 (first noticed in 0.7)

Double clicking a local html file from Windows Explorer or My Computer or any
such thing that can open files by launch apps acording to file-extension causes
two mozilla broswer windows to be opened instead of just one.

If mozilla is _already running_ then the double clicked file opens in a new
browser window in a normal healthy way.

Trouble is when mozilla is _not already running_ and you try to open a local
file this way, it opens one browser window for the html file, and another
pointing to your default start page. Disconcertingly, your start page comes up
_on top_ of the window with the html file you where trying to view.

This behavior does NOT occur when starting Mozilla from the command line such as
  mozilla.exe c:\temp\somefile.html
  mozilla.exe -url c:\temp\somefile.html

It only happens when double-clicking the html file
