Bug Description

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

I installed a fresh version of ubuntu 8.10 and updated it too. I did import my addons and setting through febe. These were working fine in my last version of 8.10. When I click on a url link in an e-mail in Evolution or Thunderbird firefox opens only to a blank page. When firefox is already running in the background it opens the url without a problem. I hope you can help me. Is there a way or place where I can find the answer to my question.

thanks very much

Thanks for your reaction.

I think I found what the problem was. I imported settings via Febe.
These settings created the problem. a Reinstall of firefox didn't work
and a complete delete and new install of firefox didn help either. I
find the add-on Febe sometimes very tricky. It is not consistent. Befor
all this I tried the life cd. This worked fine. After a clean install of
Ubuntu everything is working fine. I used Febe again, but only copied
the add-ons and passwords. So not the preferences. So It couldn be
anything different than the imported settings.

Thanks very much. By the way do I have to withdrawl my bug report? If
yes, how do I do this.

nzealand, to withdraw a bug, you can just mark it as "invalid" by clicking on the package and setting the status to "invalid". I did that for. Thanks.
