I'm experiencing this problem as well. The only way I can
load torrents is to open them via the menus in G3Torrent,
double-clicking a torrent will launch G3, but not add it to
the list.

Happens with .991, using either FireFox or IE

Preferences --> Folder Options --> "Scan and load..."
works just fine...
Save all .torrent files to one dir and let g3 do the rest.

Odd - works just fine for me. Have you set .torrent files to
be associated with g3?

there's a firefox extension to fix this. Search the forums
for the two posts that mention it.

I'm using firefox PR 1.0 and it works fine for me. I'm
running XP Pro SP2. I had firefox installed first, and
bittornado installed as the default handler for .torrents.
I just recently installed g3torrent

Once the option dialog comes up to either open or save, I
click on bittornado(default) and then the choose option and
browsed to g3torrent.exe, hit ok a couple of times and
g3torrent picked up the torrent as soon as firefox finished
downloading it.

Did you check the Messages pane? I've found that due to the
way G3 copies the .torrent file from Firefox's temporary
incoming files directory to its pending downloads directory
(ie. it uses short file format) sometimes the addition can
fail if a similarly named torrent already exists in the
directory.

I'm posting a bug report for this effect right after
submitting this comment.
