Yet another Firebird problem

I'm running Firebird 0.6 on Win NT and I'm having problems opening images with it. I've got the Tabbrowser extensions installed running in single window mode, and when I double click on a .jpg file, the browser opens up a new tab(which is what I want), but it's empty (about:blank in the location bar). Double clicking on a url seems to work with no problems.

Any idea what's going wrong? Perhaps it's something to do with the windows "File types" options - the default application associated with the open action for jpegs is firebird, but with the command line option -url "%1". Is this right for images?

Thanks!

It could potentially be a bug that has been fixed since 0.6. I'd say give 0.7 a try first.

Some JPEG/GIF/PNG attachments on forums(ubb, phpbb, etc) can cause mime type problems if the server isn't configured properly(which is mostly the case). Because of this, unless you use an external application, FB will always open up a new tab/window with nothing there.

Also, for the heck of it, try getting a newer version of TBE after you upgrade to 0.7
