Same here, on F20. firefox --new-window works, however. The --remote argument has been removed from Firefox. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319 for details. xdg-utils has no code that injects command-line options, --remote in particular. all it does (essentially), is run the app referenced by: xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http or xdg-settings get default-web-browser modulo some details depending on which desktop environment you use) Reporters, can you please post the output from the following 3 commands: xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http xdg-settings get default-web-browser XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 xdg-open http://url.com $ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http firefox.desktop midori.desktop $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser firefox.desktop $ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 xdg-open http://google.com Selected DE xfce (blank firefox opens) $ xdg-mime query default x-scheme-handler/http firefox.desktop $ xdg-settings get default-web-browser firefox.desktop $ XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL=2 xdg-open http://url.com Selected DE xfce (firefox with google.com opens, but i literally used url.com) I've confirmed xdg-open works for me with firefox-36 after setting firefox to be default browser. reporter, can you check to see if you may have a custom firefox.desktop under ~/.local/share/applications ? Ah, I think I see the problem, I bet this is a dup of bug #1195718 , but looks like I failed to make an update for f20 too (per comment #1). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1195718 *** Updating to xdg-utils-1.1.0-0.39.rc3.fc20.noarch doesn't help, problem remains the same.
Running xdg-open with strace shows that it calls exo-open, which in turn calls exo-helper-1, which in turn calls
execve("/usr/bin/firefox", ["/usr/bin/firefox", "-remote","openURL(http://url.com)"], [/* 74 vars */])
Re-assign to exo.
... and so, most likely a duplicate of 1197313. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1197313 *** No, your issue is still exo-open in this case, no idea why it's trying to use the --remove option --remote even :) reduping 1197313 , I misread that as the original xdg-utils bug 1195718 , sorry *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1197313 *** Upstream decided to revert te change so the -remote options has been added back in firefox-36.0-3.fc23 (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1080319) So the 'fix' is to wait for firefox to revert back? (In reply to Samo Dadela from comment #15) > So the 'fix' is to wait for firefox to revert back? Or you could install the exo package from updates-testing as noted in bug 1197313 ? |
