User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1 urls with pipes in them, if clicked on in outlook, cause firefox to break up the url at each pipe and open up each fragment in a new tab. I know that vertical bars are not supposed to be in URLs, but doubleclick ads sometimes have URLs with the characters in them... they look like this: http://ad.doubleclick.net/click;h=v2|32344|0|0|%2a|l;11402342344;0-0;1;1032;45933-120|600;734456835|7345731|2;u=vvl;~sscs=%3fhttp://www.cnn.com/ so if you send an email with this URL to someone with outlook, and they click on it, 9 tabs will open up in firefox, none of which is the correct url. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set firefox as your default browser 2. open a new mail window in outlook 2000 (might happen with other clients, but i've only checked outlook) 3. paste in something like this (without the quotes) "http://www.cnn.com/|http://www.nytimes.com/" 4. click on that link Actual Results: two tabs open up, one with CNN and the other with NYTimes Expected Results: should have tried to load the (obviously broken) url "http://www.cnn.com/|http://www.nytimes.com/"
