from http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/describecomponents.cgi?product=Browser

Browser-General: A "catch all" component for problems found when using the
Browser which do not fall into one of the current components. Example:
launch/exit crashes, features missing, etc. PLEASE NOTE!! Try to find a
component which is specific to your bug first - BEFORE assigning to this component!

If this bug is indeed important to a Netscape enterprise release it would
probablty be better to file it in a real component where it might get the
attention of a developer or two.

What's the url linked to from the Outlook mail message.  Seems like it has to 
be some page with doubleclick ads (like those are rare!).

Links from this site, such as the one I got this morning -- 
http://redir.internet.com/js/jss_resizing_window/javascript.internet.com/miscellaneous/resizing-window.html
-- NEVER result in anything but a connection refusal if opened from Outlook by
double-clicking on a link in an e-mail message.

Also, occasionally, a site I am viewing will turn into a refused connection for
some unknown reason when I hit the reload button.

The connection-refused messages are back if you click a link from a mail message
in Outlook.  Ugh.  (Actually, I didn't realize that this bug was still open.)

Not only do I get a connection-refused message if I click an Outlook link to
www.xyz.com, but I won't be able to manually type www.xyz.com afterwards to
access their web page.  It looks like the connection-refused status is
remembered by the browser.

On the other hand, if I type www.xyz.com first, I am able to reach the requested
page, and clicking *afterwards* on an Outlook link to www.xyz.com will work as
expected, without the connection-refused message.

I haven't tested this super-thoroughly, but this is what appears to be happening.




Using build 2002071808 on Win98.
