From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; 0.6) Gecko/20001205 BuildID: Mozilla 0.6 Whenever I enable desktop integration and try to open an URL, Mozilla launches with two windows of the URL I launched. This does not happen when I already have mozilla open. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable desktop integration 2. Close mozilla 3. Start, Run, www.mozilla.org Actual Results: Two mozillas open the page. Expected Results: Mozilla should just open one window.
Reporter, Mozilla 0.6 is the same codebase as Netscape 6.0. As such, it has many bugs that have been fixed in the nightlys... Can you reproduce the problem with a recent nightly build?
I'm not the original reporter, but I've also seen this bug in the nightly builds, up to and including 2000120604, on Windows 2000.
This bug may be related to bug 59078
not seeing on win98 2000120720. Did you have a previous version of mozilla installed? might be a profile issue.
Tried nightly build 2000120720 and it still occured, deleted my profiles and tried creating a new one and also tried importing a Netscape 4 profile, both still had the problem.
I need some registry entries. Please export them, and put into one file. Start with [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.htm] Then follow the (Default) entry, for me it's "NetscapeMarkup" so I'll export [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\NetscapeMarkup]
I also reinstalled Mozilla build 2000120720 from scratch, and am still seeing the problem in Windows 2000. I'm not sure if this is the same as Bug 59078. That bug describes a problem where the "home page" is loaded in addition to the file/URL that was opened. I've also seen the behavior when the URL that was opened is opened in two different windows (that is, the "home page" is not loaded).
Marking as a duplicate of 59078 'open file (.gif) with mozilla, the "Home-Page" loaded additionally' However this summary is much more understandable.. pasting it across there as a suggestion. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59078 ***

Re-opening for clarification. Is this to do with desktop integration, anyone able to help would be nice. I assume that running 'www.mozilla.org' from the run dialog would be utilising the desktop integration feature to associate the URL with Mozilla. Is this so? Thanks..

Reporter, and Azrael AOD, I have pending questions, please answer them. I am pretty sure it is a desktop integration bug, we probably get both a command line and a dde message. but I haven't started building debug, so i'm not sure.
Sorry Timeless for not answering your questions :/ I don't actually have the desktop integration and am not seeing the problems. Will enable it now, check, then export.. Ok 2000121904 I went into preferences, set the integration, and then: start | run | www.hotmail.com Opened 2 windows, one to that url, the other to the home page/starting page. Attaching regfiles...
If it's any help I just noticed this: I have an 'address' toolbar on my start-panel/bar-whatever. And with no browsers open, I input an address and it opens two windows - both to that address. Yet when one Moz window is already open, typing an address intot this start-bar- address-toolbar has the affect of opening a brand new window, just one, to the new location, and not affecting the currently open one in the slightest. From experience using this address-bar with IE as default browser. Any addrss inputed should open 1 window (if none are open) or open into a currently open window if one is open.
Ok, thanks for the export. The answer is that this is a desktop integration problem. and it is a result of a dde message. As such it is the same as the other bug. Yes our integration for .htm and http are equivalent so you will get the same sort of errors for both. I just tested "www.mozillazine.org" and it loaded in nc4.7 and gave me an error, which is functionally equivalent to what happens in mozilla. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 59078 ***
