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/"
