Hi Anna,
You are absolutely right in what you said.You should be able to open any
links,whether they be internal,external, from a text file or desktop or an application.
And it does work according to your settings - Open link in new tab or open link in
new window.For me external links opened as set- new tab or new window.
I just did a fresh install of Firefox v3.0.1.0 -as available from
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/upgrade.html
Eg - links in a text file as opened with eg EditPad Lite or MetaPad ,will open in
Firefox without any problems.(Above programs show the links as "active ",unlike
NotePad - so you just click them and off you go ;) )
Provided of course that FF is set as Default browser.
There are some exceptions sometimes - my previous post alluded to that.
Maybe a fresh install might correct the corruption?
Save your profile and Bookmarks etc before you re-install.

Right! That is the problem. All Firefox tabs and windows have to be closed before I
can use an external, saved link to open a new Firefox window (or tab).
It is not suppose to work this way - I should be able (as I used to) to open multiple
unrelated tabs and windows at once - and I can, but the external links do not work -
I have to jump through hoops to get another Firefox window (or tab) open from a
desktop link or from a saved link in one of my folders.
Are you saying you have the same problem? That you have to close down all your
Firefox windows/tabs to get your external links to work?

RE Firefox not opening 2nd window..I believe if you close all tabs other than the one
you want to open Firefox will work..at least that works for me and my Firefox v3.10
