I was trying to download a C source file and firefox (on this system) did not know what application to use to view the file. I selected "Open with", then "firefox" and checked the "Do this automatically..." box and clicked OK.
I was greeted with a couple dozen new tabs before I held down the ctrl-w keys.
This was admittedly stupid on my part, but I thought it should be reported anyway.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try to download a .c file
2. Select "Open With" and "Firefox"
3. check the "Do this automatically..." box
4) Click "OK"
I did not try this with tabs disabled.
Actual Results:
Same.
Expected Results:
In hindsight, the same as actual. I should have not tried to do this (like typing $0 $0 or while 1 fork), but I was surprised that there wasn't some mechanism to protect me from my own mental lapse.
I am not particularly interested in being actively involved in reporting bugs in firefox. I just wanted to do my part as a lowly user. I am classifying this as minor. Thanks for all your hard work.
