95593 - A new Mozilla window is opened when loading a helper app

Status: CLOSED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe]

I have configured a few helper apps like gv for postscript and acroread for pdf
files. When I click a url for such a file, a new blank mozilla window is opened
although the file is going to be handled by an external application.

Dup of bug 102380?  Or was this bug happening with a normal click (rather than
"open link in new window")?

Works for me now ... seems to have been a profile problem. Mozilla can recognise
the pdf mime-type and correctly opens it in xpdf without any blank windows. No
need for an entry in helper applications either. Anyway, the bug was not a dup
of 102380 ... the blank window used to come up even for a normal click.
