If Firefox is not active (running) and an external application passes a URL it loads the start page. You have to go back to the calling application after Firefox loads and click on the link again to get it to respond.

This bug is fixed in our latest version, Firefox 4.0b3 for Android, which you can find in the Android Market.

You will need to uninstall 4.0b2 before installing 4.0b3. This will erase your profile and settings (This is because of a one-time change; future updates will install over the previous version without uninstalling.)

If you have any trouble finding Firefox 4.0b3 in the Android Market, see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/774020

So far that appears to resolve it. If that changes I will update.

Thanks
