Details

Loading a local xul file into the browser window doesn't show the resulting url string in the location editfield. Steps: 1) File->Open 2) Browse (Choose File) and pick a local *.xul file 3) Open it 4) notice that the location editfield is empty (or the old url isn't replaced) Notes: the location field does update on Macintosh; picking remote or local html files work as expected; picking a local *.gif file works as expected.

In the latest windows build, selecting any xul file always loads navigator.xul in a new window, though I don't click the "open in New window" check box in the file->open dialog. I see the same behavior in unix too. Can QA look at it and post the latest behavior for MAC. I think this is a bigger problem than what is reported here.
Mac also creates a new window and opens the xul file into it. This also has been a bug/feature for quite a long time (months?).
Kathy, In MAC, does it load the xul you provide?In unix & windows, it always loads navigator.xul with default page, no matter what xul file I choose.

There is some confusion on what really is happening here and what is expected. I certainly can not take care of this for M8. Moving to M10.

There is total confusion here on what works where and how. Really need a QA person to look at all platforms and post updated info. This is a old bug too.

The described failure appears to be fixed in the current builds on all platforms. Please resolve it as appropriate. The failure related to opening a new window is already reported in bug 12123.
Is the urlbar updated with the right value?
it now works for me (on Mac).
