We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu and Firefox since that time.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported using
currently supported versions of Firefox and Ubuntu? Please let us know
if you do otherwise this report can be left to expire in approximately
60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Clicking links in other applications causes Firefox to open new
window, doesn't load page
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Binary package hint: firefox
Since I upgraded from Maverick to Natty, Firefox will no longer load
webpages when links are clicked in an external application. Rather
than the page being loaded in a new tab (after starting Firefox if
necessary), it opens a new window and displays the default homepage.
The exception seems to be clicking links in Thunderbird, whereupon
Firefox tries to load http://www.%f.com/ in a new tab (or window if
not already running). The only work around for this seems to be
copying links and pasting them into Firefox's address bar.
I'd use the new 'ubuntu-bug -w' method of reporting a bug, but as it
requires opening the web browser after the report is generated, the
chances are good that it might not work. I'll supply other
information if necessary (and if I can figure out how to get the
required information).
