I have Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit Firefox 12.0 12.0+build1-0ubuntu0.12.04.1
And firefox can't open links from external applications, any application, firefox is uncapable to load a webpage from a link in an external application. First I got the very ANNOYING apport windows, I wanted to report a bug, it opened firefox but it opened the startpage and NOT the Launchpad page, I think -Oh! it may be a problem with apport... then I knew that firefox is the problem, because later with an email I was reading in thunderbird, i clicked in a link just to see the webpage, then a firefox window appeared but with the startpage instead of the webpage in the link I clicked. Well after these I deactivated the Ubuntu modifications plugin in firefox, I tried to file a bug with apport and voila! the firefox home page! It behaved the same with a link in thunderbird. firefox 12 or at least the firefox 12 in precise packaging is uncapable to open webpages from external links. And well... you know guys why I can't use apport to file new bugs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/786718 Title: Clicking links in other applications causes Firefox to open new window, doesn't load page To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/786718/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
