Redirect bug in Fastdial
BalboaCZ —Thu, 11/01/2012 - 19:53
Fastdial is not allowing website to be addressed directly or via redirection.
Example1: enter "firefox www.foxnews.com" from the RUN box or via script. Fastdial opens a new windows but never passes the URL to said window.
This also affects Firefox's ability to update plugins.
Example2: Go to "Add-ons Manager". Go to "Plugins". Press the button for "Check to see if your plugins are up to date". A new window opens (should be a new tab), but you never go to Mozilla's plugin page.
Disable Fastdial and the default functions return except "Example2" still opens in a new window vs a tab.
I don't know at which version or when this stared, but it has been out there for a while. Today was my first chance to sit and go through each extension to find the cause. I use a script to launch my time sheet and noticed that a new Firefox window would open but it never went to the time sheet page unless i typed in the URL.

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Wed, 11/07/2012 - 17:07I wish I understood clearer your intention and your problem
If I type in the run box "firefox.exe userlogos.org" I end up on this site in Firefox
You also have the option in Fast Dial NOT to open Fast Dial in New Tabs in Preferences
What do you mean by
Fastdial opens a new windows but never passes the URL to said window.
As far as I can understand you possibly have no need or use of having Fast Dial in new tab.
Have you tried changing in preferences ?
If you had userlogos.org in a fast dial cell, once you have clicked on the cell you will be in a new Tab in Firefox, and you will no longer be in Fast Dial.

"Check to see if your plugins are up to date" opens fine in a new tab for me. Would it be possible for you to provide a screenshot of the problems?
