Details

Dragging an URL-shortcut to the browser window should make the browser go to the URL of the shortcut. Since Mozilla 0.8, this does not work. Double-clicking the shortcut does work. Detailed: In Mozilla 0.8, a random page is being viewed. From the Location-bar, I drag the bookmark to my desktop. I visit another page. I drag the shortcut from the desktop to the Mozilla window. Mozilla gives a "Downloading" popup: "This file has mime type application/octet-stream and cannot be viewed using Mozilla...". When I try to drag a URL-shortcut to Mozilla, which was created with MSIE, I get to see the contents of the shortcut, e.g. [DEFAULT] BASEURL=http://evolt.org/ [InternetShortcut] URL=http://evolt.org/ Modified=904286A7F498C0014C Also strange is that the icons of the shortcuts created with Mozilla are the 'e' from MSIE, not the curly Mozilla. Mozilla *is* associated with .URL and HTTP.
hrm, the icon association problems are interesting, but for now i'll resolve the bug as a dupe based on the summary. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 68994 ***
