Yeah I think this is it;
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359630
Following the instructions in the link from my previous email fixes the
issue. FF definitely has a DDE issue because of the hinky way they are
handing their windows. At this point I wouldn't count on this being fixed
soon.
In one of the bug tickets its explained quite well I am betting, one user
stated he thinks what happens is the DDE conversation is started with the
Firefox window thats present at launch, during the launching process the
original thread/window dies and DDE isnt properly transferred to the new
Firefox window or perhaps even, MS was sloppy in their explorer code, (my
theory) and is assuming once the DDE session is open it always stays open
and after their inital 'message' they send another without checking the
status of the DDE connection and whammo, error gets generated.
Why this gets worse seemingly with the google toolbar present (and really
enhanced with GT and DQSD together) I am not sure. Some have pointed out
errors that are likely related to this (
http://groups.google.com/group/FFToolbar-Group-Bugs/browse_thread/thread/072935cb2d9acabe/77cdc339cf169b6f#77cdc339cf169b6f)
to google but I dont know what if any action was taken.
So in the end the bug isnt yours or DQSD's, its related to windows and FF.
Since the bug has been around off and on since as early as 2002 I dont know
if FF Dev team will ever address it....
