Package: iceweasel
Version: 3.5.10-1
Severity: normal


Hi Mike.

Now that you have hg.mozilla.org commit rights, I can perhaps directly report
this here? ;) (Congratulations by the way)

Tried this in safe-mode with no plugins/extensions:

When trying to open a file:// style link in a new _background_ tab,
e.g. the "file:///usr/share/doc/debian-policy/fhs/" link on
"http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html" nothing happens.

Directly opening it in the same or foreground tabs (via context menu)
works however.

Cheers,
Chris.
