When opening a file with an unknown file type twice, the browser crashes.
This only happens when using the newly created window to open a file the second
time. (closing it and opening from the first window works fine).
I've only tested this on local files with several unknown extensions.
The obvious solution to me would seem to be to not open a new browserwindow,
when trying to view an unknown filetype.

Do you mean you click on a local file with an unknown file type, get the open
dialog box then click cancel. And do this twice?

Maybe my description wasn't clear enough, so here goes:
1) I open a local file with an unknown extension through the file, open file menu.
2) I click cancel on the error dialog, a new blank window shows up.
3) I repeat step 1 in the new window.
4) I repeat step 2 in the new window.
And that causes it to crash, doing the same but in the same (first) window
doesn't crash it.
Maybe it's just me, but to me this seems different from what happens with bug
23195.
yes, this could be a different bug, or the same symptom of a similar bugs.
paulmac, can you have one of your folks try a reproduce. And this may be a dup.

Shrirang, could you take a look at this. Also, looks like xpapps bug, not xptoolkit.

Bill, don't we (or maybe someone on Necko) already have a bug on this?

I cannot reproduce the problem because cancelling the "unknown content" dialog
no longer creates the second window. I suspect that behavior was due to a
previous bug that has since been fixed.

FYI: the second window does open with build 2000-02-01-08 on WinNT, but Mozilla
no longer crashes.
I don't if this is really a bug, but the newly created window shows the
unrecognized file (or rather the full URI) in the location bar.
