98879 - Clicking link in other apps (Outlook) shows blank or home page

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98799

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

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

Clicking a link in Outlook gets you a blank page or your home page *if you
already have the browser open*.  This behavior has just returned to Moz.  Other
bugs (e.g., 91134) don't seem to capture it exactly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a browser window to visit some page
2. open an outlook mail message with a link
3. click the link, you should see your previous page disappear into blank or
home page

Actual Results:  blank page or home page.

Expected Results:  new browser window with link's content.

If no Moz is open, the Right Thing happens.  This is Outlook XP (not express),
turbo mode is *not* on.  I wonder if the new mail/news "compose steals browser
window" bug is involved...

This is a dup of bug 98799.
Maybe the report of that bug is quite bad, but it was late in the night
