When opening a link in an email message via right click -> Open in New Window,
if no Browser windows are open, Mozilla will open a Browser window and load the
user's home page. If at least one Browser window is open, it correctly loads
the linked page. I am unsure when this behavior started, but it is present in
0.8.1, 2001040904 and the builds.

It still happens on 2001041704 with a new profile on a different machine. I did
notice that rather than no other browser windows being open, it's that no other
browser windows *have been* or are open during that mozilla session. (I start
the mozilla mail program using a shortcut to "...\bin\mozilla.exe -mail") If I
start the browser, open the mail program, and close the browser, it will open
the link correctly. It seems that it loads the homepage if the homepage has not
loaded since mozilla was started.

I can confirm this. When starting with "mozilla -mail" then trying to open a
link with "Open Link in New Window". The first attempt will just open the home
page, subsequent attempts work as expected.
Might be related to bug 59078.

Possibly related to 59078, but not the same issue; that one works for me in
recent builds, while this doesn't. I can associate with .gif or .jpg files now
and it opens only one window that is the desired file, not the homepage, etc. I
still have the issue of the home page opening from a link in Mail messages if
the Browser has not yet loaded the home page.

As could be expected (just hadn't tested before), this also happens when
starting Mozilla with Composer, etc - anything but browser. Right-click -> Edit
on an HTML file will cause the same behavior. (Still present in 2001050515 / 0.9)

It happens also in:
Mozilla 0.9 2001050515
Win2k
Configure Mozilla to start only Mail&News in startup.
Go to a IMAP email message that has an http address.
Right click and select, open in new windows.
The first mozilla windows appears and does not show the
link you wanted to open.
Try again and it works.

Yeah - basically what's happening is if the browser hasn't been opened since the
program was started, the first browser window to open is the home page. The
only instance I can find of opening Mozilla and having a browser open to
anything other than the homepage is opening an associated local file - in that
case, the browser opens the correct file. In any case where Mail, Composer,
etc. was started before the browser, the first browser window to open will be
the home page. I first noticed it by using a shortcut to mozilla.exe -mail and
trying to open links from mail messages (as I reported).

Note this happens on all systems, launching -mail then trying to view the source
of a message the first time. After closing browser window and viewing
again the source displays. Changing platform to all.

Updated Summary to better reflect the bug (no other Browser window open -> home
page has not yet been loaded)
Summary: Mozilla loads home page when opening link in new window from mail if no other Browser window is open → Mozilla loads home page when opening link from mail if home page has not yet been loaded

It also happend when you star mail&news and then select "view source" in an
email. If you try again, the second window show the source.

CTRL-U is completely broken now. It always loads the home page. Never loads the
message source. Is this related to this bug or should this be a separate bug?

i suspect that's bug 89345.
Comment 22•23 years ago
|

this is a dup of a bug that was fixed on the branch and the trunk at the end of
last week. I'd suggest re-trying this on a current build. It should work.

bug 73141 specifically for first time use of browser to view a link or source of
a mail message brought up a blank page (view source) or the Netscape Home Page
(click on link). The criteria for this was to launch using -mail so the Browser
page has not been used yet. That specific case is fixed and verified. However,
there are several other open bugs regarding random blank browser windows when
clicking on links. All of the scenarios I see in this bug mention the specific
criteria so I will verify this as fixed per the duplicate bug 73141 being
verified.
