Description Brian Moon 2006-01-15 13:12:51 UTC 
When clicking links in external applications (Gaim, XChat, etc.), if that URL has a comma in it, Firefox ignores everything after the first comma.  I have tried both mozilla-firefox-bin and building mozilla-firefox.

A simple test:

$ firefox "http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12,52928".  Watching the LiveHTTP Headers extension, I see that FF actually requests http://www.phorum.org/phorum5/read.php?12

This did not happen with 1.0.7

FWIW, I tried the binaries from mozilla.com and I have the same problem.  So, I guess this should be reported to Mozilla?  Or could it still be a Gentoo issue?

Upstream issue, I am already tracking bug upstream soon as they fix we will fix source atleast.

FWIW, if I run:

/opt/firefox/firefox http://www.example.com/index.php?1,2,3,4

all works fine.  Its only when using the shell scripts in /usr/bin that I have a problem.  For the time being, I have changed the files in /usr/bin to symlinks to /opt/firefox/firefox
