Firefox opening twice in two identical windows

September 16, 2004 11:24 AM

Eudora + Firefox + XP: every time I launch a link from within an email, Firefox opens it twice in two identical windows, and I also get a blank IE window. Needless to say, I just want one version of the link. In Firefox.
Spybot, Adaware, Hijackthis and AVG show nothing untoward on my system. Anyone else get this?

I would get the two identical firefox windows when clicking a link in excel - this was with firefox 0.9. So far with 1.0PR I only get one window.

It mentions that this bug is corrected in the 1.0PR release notes. Just to say --
