bug reporting url

Binary package hint: firefox

Hi,
In Help | Report a Bug..., the URL that Firefox creates does not work in Firefox: I get the page with:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
File not found

Firefox can't find the file at /home/homer/"https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+filebug/wmApMZVvpEdmALff04gdlybevUc?".

    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.

    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the address field, the URL is shown with %HEX substitution for the " marks.:

/home/homer/%22https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+filebug/wmApMZVvpEdmALff04gdlybevUc?%22.

If I delete the leading text:
    /home/homer/%22
and the trailing
    %22
the URL works OK, and I can continue to report the bug.

I am unable to reproduce this in Ubuntu 7.10 (the latest release).

Could you follow the directions under "Try with a new profile" on this page please: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MozillaTeam/Bugs

thanks!

Hi, Greg,
I created the profile as suggested (I opened your link in Konqueror, so
I could read it while creating the profile).

(2) There's now a second problem.

I then clicked Help / Report a Bug, and I am now getting:
Apport Collecting Information
Apport Uploading [something]
Firefox - Choose User Profile

I select the newly created and named try_a_new_profile, and click Start
Firefox (it's already running, of course), and then I get a dialog saying:
"Profile in Use
Firefox cannot use the profile "try_a_new_profile" because it is in use.
To continue, close the running instance of Firefox or chose a different
profile."

I closed the previous window, and clicked Start Firefox in the above dialog.

(1) Firefox started up, and has displayed the original bug-reported dialog:

"[Icon: Exclamation Mark in a Yellow Triangle] File not found

Firefox can't find the file at
/home/homer/"https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+filebug/9jIdEIOCDpA3vDuvp8yWpS6FYiU?".

    * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.
    * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.
[Button: Try Again]"

Clicking the button did nothing further.

I hope this has been of help.

One more thing to test.

Could you try this in Ubuntu 7.10 (the latest release) please?

If you don't feel like upgrading you can use a LiveCD from here:
http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso

Thanks
