I found the problem in 7.04. Here it is: GNOME settings: set Firefox as default, sets the command line to
firefox %s Firefox does not recognize this string as the default browser, so it sets up: /usr/lib/firefox/firefox "%s" as the default browser. However, this is broken, not only due to lack of integration with GNOME. With Firefox's setting, ubuntu-bug breaks. If I call it with Firefox settings, the folloing URL fails to be opened: file:///home/fabio/%22https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/3ZJdXVjcYM2DH4kDR7Is7BHgz5e?%22 It works fine with GNOME setting, not containing the local path leading the URL. Some way, calling Firefox by /usr/lib/firefox/firefox breaks opening URLs on the command line. Also, GNOME settings for Firefox to open in new window and new tab are broken. When one of this is set firefox -remote "openurl(%s,new-window)" firefox -remote "openurl(%s,new-tab)" No new Firefox is opened. It only works if a Firefox is already running. For new tab and no Firefox opened, this error comes to the console: Error: No running window found The temporary solution is to use GNOME's setting with no new window / new tab option and hack Firefox settings to get the desired behavior. -- Firefox cant cope with default browser setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/78204 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
