I set application/x-perl to be "open using mozilla.exe". When I subsequently clicked on a .pl file on a webpage, it opened another mozilla window, which opened another, and another, ...
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Preferences -> Helper Applications -> application/x-perl to be handled by mozilla.exe in programme files directory.
2. Find a webpage with anyfile.pl, which is not doing the .pl file as DHTML.
3. Click on it and watch your memory and CPU usage.
Actual Results:
My machine died.
Expected Results:
A warning to say that you can't specify mozilla.exe as the helper application? Or if a new mozilla window is started, don't let it recursively try to open it with another instance of mozilla?
