[Bug 1429275] [NEW] Thunderbird does not open http URL anymore with Firefox v36.0

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Public bug reported:

In Firefox the "-remote" option was removed in version 36.0 (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319).
Unfortunately the current Thunderbird in Ubuntu 14.04 still uses this option.

When I click on an http URL in a email an empty Firefox windows opens
and ps reports a firefox instance with "-remote "OpenURL(...)".
