Actual results: Clicking on a link is broken. Expected results: Opened Nightly to get URL loaded.
Here is what I get in error console : Error: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) [nsIExternalProtocolService.loadUrl]" nsresult: "0x80004005 (NS_ERROR_FAILURE)" location: "JS frame :: chrome://communicator/content/contentAreaClick.js :: openLinkExternally :: line 188" data: no]

You may need to reset your default browser.

Already tried. I verified that Mozilla Firefox (Nightly) is the default browser in Gnome 3. Will try again and report.
Fred what version of gibc comes installed on your system ?
Frederic: Thanks for the bug report. Is this for *any* link? Or just one particular link? -Mike
(In reply to comment #4) > Fred what version of gibc comes installed on your system ? On my archlinux : glibc 2.14 and if it cares, gcc 4.6.1 (In reply to comment #5) > Frederic: > > Thanks for the bug report. Is this for *any* link?

Frederic: Hrm. How about add-ons? Do you have any add-ons enabled? If so, try disabling them one by one to see if that resolves the problem. -Mike
Sorry for being too silent. Real life was on me. The "problem" was a corrupted (don't know why) mimeTypes.rdf. I was able to fix the bug by grabbing an old version from a backup profile. Closing as invalid ?!
