95017 - I get a Windows run Dialog error when I call up mozilla typing an URL in the Windows Run box

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 65741

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[ronne]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010801
BuildID:    2001080110

I often open web pages using the windows Run dialog. For example: if I
want to go to www.mozilla.org I press Win+R and type www.mozilla.org and then
Enter. This calls up the default web browser and points it to the desired web
page quickly and easily.

This works well with Internet Explorer, but now when I put Mozilla as my default
browser and try to do the same it doesn't work as well.

Sure, it calls up the Mozilla browser window and points it to
mozilla.org, but I get an Windows run dialog error which says "Can't
find the file "www.mozilla.org" (or one of its components). Make sure
the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are
available. When I press OK here the Run dialog window is once again
displayed waiting for me to correct the URL i typed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Press Start, and then Run
2. Type www.mozilla.org, or some other URL
3. Press Enter or click OK

Actual Results:  Mozilla opens mozilla.org fine, but windows gives me this error
message altough everything works correctly. This doesn't happen when I use
Internet Explorer as the default browser.

Expected Results:  Nothing else than what it did now, but it should somehow stop
this error message from appearing.

I use Win2000 Professional, English version, with Service Pack 2 installed.
