Description Ben Levenson 2008-07-25 00:05:03 UTC
Description of problem:
1- set default browser to seamonkey
2- upgrade seamonkey to 1.0.9-24.el4, (requires nss-3.11.99.5-3.el4)
3- start thunderbird
4- view an email with a https URL
5- click it

Actual results:
This document connot be displayed unless you install the Personal Security
Manager (PSM). Download and install PSM and try again, or contact your system
administrator

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nspr-4.7.0.99.2-2.el4
nss-3.11.99.5-3.el4
seamonkey-1.0.9-24.el4
seamonkey-chat-1.0.9-24.el4
seamonkey-devel-1.0.9-24.el4
seamonkey-dom-inspector-1.0.9-24.el4
seamonkey-js-debugger-1.0.9-24.el4
seamonkey-mail-1.0.9-24.el4
thunderbird-1.5.0.12-11.el4

Expected results:
https page should load

Additional info:
I can't reproduce this with evo28 & new seamonkey/nss packages
or with thunderbird and old seamonkey/seamonkey-nss packages

Additionally, clicking a URL in thunderbird with ff3 set as the default browser
does not open the link in ff3.

kengert identified the problem:
<kengert> when thunderbird starts seamonkey, it does so with an LD_LIBRARY_PATH
that includes the nss libraries that are shipped with thunderbird
<kengert> when seamonkey starts up, it might see the libs from thunderbird,
instead of the ones from seamonkey (which are probably later in the path)
<kengert> then there might be some incompatibility between libs
<kengert> let me try to remove the nspr and nss libs shipped with thunderbird ,
which should work fine
<kengert> my test is successful. after having moved the nspr/nss libs away, the
test case can load the https page

----

Note, https links work if seamonkey is already up and running.  So until we have
a fix, users can workaround the issue by launching seamonkey before they click
on an https link in thunderbird.

I can't set the rhel-4.7.z flag

Comment 2 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2008-07-25 00:17:47 UTC
The fix is to change thunderbird to no longer ship an internal NSPR/NSS, but
link against the system packages.


Comment 3 RHEL Program Management 2008-08-05 13:58:53 UTC
This bugzilla has Keywords: Regression.  

Since no regressions are allowed between releases, 
it is also being proposed as a blocker for this release.  

Please resolve ASAP.

Comment 4 Kai Engert (:kaie) (inactive account) 2008-08-05 17:15:30 UTC
Resolving as a dupe of bug 456193, which already got acks.

Both SeaMonkey and Firefox experience the same problem, a single fix to thunderbird will resolve both problems.
