998518 - All nsICommandLineHandler's apparently invoked by Thunderbird invocation of Firefox

Status: UNCONFIRMED

(Core :: General, defect)

Description

[Brett Zamir]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20140417185217

Steps to reproduce:

In my SDK add-on, I have been able to successfully register an nsICommandLineHandler component.


Actual results:

However, for some reason its handler also gets invoked when I open links from Thunderbird, even though my custom command line name, "webappdoc", is present in the category entry and contract ID:

@mozilla.org/commandlinehandler/general-startup;1?type=webappdoc

catMan.addCategoryEntry('command-line-handler', 'm-webappdoc', contractId, false, true);

I'm not sure how Thunderbird is invoking Firefox, but when I try a -remote invocation on the command line, it does not cause this problem.


Expected results:

The command line handler for my specific command line component should not be invoked when Thunderbird opens a link into Firefox.
