98837 - Windows Integration broken

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 88083

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Ashley Bischoff (blog at handcoding.com)]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.3+)
Gecko/20010907
BuildID:    2001090703

In this build, windows integration no longer seems to be working. If I click on
a link in my mail browser, Mozilla tries to open the link in one of my
already-open browser windows. Instead of opening the url in that
already-existing window, though, Mozilla:

* Loads about:blank
* Clears out the history in that window ("Back" and "Forward" are greyed out and
nothing is listed under "Go")

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure Mozilla is already running
2. Click on a link in a windows app


Actual Results: Mozilla reuses a browser window, but ruins it (window's history
is erased and user is shown about:blank)

Expected Results: Mozilla loads the url, either in a new browser window or by
reusing a browser window (a Mozilla pref for one-behavior-vs-the-other is bug
35578).

I tested Windows Integration with 2001090603 on Win2k, and that build is fine. 

Related to bug 59078 or bug 97813?

Marking as dup of 88083.  Symptoms are much different but I'm viewing that bug 
as "double clicking on desktop/app links is screwed up" so fixing that will 
take care of this one, also.
