Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

Recently upgraded Firefox to 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.15~prepatch080614d-0ubuntu1
from dapper-security and it now ignores URLs given on the command line,
meaning that clicking on links in email, and desktop "launchers",
display the Firefox start page rather than the intended page.

The Firefox wrapper script appears to "do the right thing" - ps shows a command 
like
  /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -a firefox http://example.com/
but Firefox loads its start page and the location bar is empty.

I tried launching firefox-bin directly just to confirm, and the
behaviour is the same.

Thanks,


John Pearson.
