From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010530 BuildID: 2001053020 This happens everytime mozilla is resident. No problem when not using the turbo mode. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run mozilla -turbo 2. Start Mail client. Open a message with a link to a url (I used cathleen's 5/31 performance agenda message as test case). 3. Left click on the link Actual Results: There is network activity but no browser window opens (actually, the page is loaded in a hidden window). If then I start the browser, it shows up the linked url. Expected Results: Open a browser window and show linked url's contents. "Open the link in a new window" (context menu) still works.

I hadn't noticed that no browser window can be opened from either the leftmost icon in taskbar or the throbber. Only the "Open the link in a new window" in context menu or running mozilla.exe can bring up a browser window from Mozilla mail client (if no browser window is already opened). Changing summary.

confirmed this is a valid bug. I am seeing this problem on win2k too.

Correcting typo in summary :(

Vishy says nsbeta1+; this will be fixed by the changes planned for bug 81712.
