I've been seeing this too, but I'm not sure if it's a dupe or not.

Is it possible that these symptoms and those of <a
href=http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=91134>91134</a> are a result of
the same problem?

This is a problem on both 2001070808 & 2001071604 on win2K, but both work fine
on win98SE...

Didn't jag fix this?  Or something like it?

[jag (Peter Annema)]

Not sure. I may have fixed this, but there's another bug where trying to load a
url into an already open named window won't work because the arguments array
(window.arguments) is attached to the wrong window somehow (there's a bug on
this somewhere).

Using 0.9.3 (build 2001080110) on Win2000 Pro.  This error occurs when opening
additional windows.  Executing a local html file when Mozilla is not running,
the profile requestor displays, then will display the correct page.  If you
click on another html page after this, the home page is displayed on any more
newly opened windows.  If quick launch is enabled, the browser has already
loaded the home page.  In this case, executing any html page displays the home
page (they are all additional windows).  If you exit Mozilla in the system tray,
the first scenario is in effect.  Only the first page shows correctly.

This bug is fixed in Netscape 6.1 (Mozilla 0.9.2.1).  Instead it shows the
"can't find file error" dialogue when executing any associated files which is
listed with earlier versions of Mozilla.  Can you get help from the Netscape team?

A combination of revised dde code and jag's fix to prevent the home page from
showing up in new windows when it shouldn't, I think this bug should be fixed.
