"open in new Window" does not work


when i use "open in new window" in contextmenu then
there is opening a explorer window with the installation directory.

my default browser is firefox.
my os ist xp professional.

by the way:
there is a bug in the translation of notification window
"unglesene Nachrichten" => "ungelesene Nachrichten"

explorer.exe started for shortened URLs

I have the same problem, but only for shortened URLs like
http://bit.ly/3vLehw
This launches explorer.exe in C:\Windows\system32

Normal URLs work fine and IE is launched correctly.

..

It happens with all the feeds...
For example when I open a news from clubic.com and I want to open a link (for downloading something) whatever I do (right click-> open in new window or simple left click) it opens the windows exlorer

open link in new window

Vew layout as Full screen. Click on the link in the first section of the post with right mouse and choose "Open in New Window". The Windows Explorer opens.

It would be great if Internet Explorer would open. I have to use the "Copy Shortcut", open new browser and paste the shortcut functionality instead.
