User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504 Firefox/1.0+ (bangbang023) Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504 Firefox/1.0+ (bangbang023) Upon clicking a link from any external app (including Thunderbird), a new tab opens in Firefox, but the URL does not populate the location bar and the page does not load. Note: This is using Firefox's own built in tab handling options, not an extension. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Click link from any external application Actual Results: New tab opens, but page does not load and URL does not appear in location bar. Expected Results: A new tab should be opened and the page should load.
CONFIRMED Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050504 Firefox/1.0+ MSN 7 links open the new tab, go nowhere. i clicked the link a few times and saw that the site was 'loading' but not going anywhere, so i manually typed it in (actually just clicked a bookmark) and it loaded fast and fine. This is a real bad one. Adding keyword regression, CCing myself.
