From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: gnome-moz-remote always opens Mozila, even if you set Firefox as your preferred web browser. IMHO, gnome-moz-remote should just tell GNOME to tell whatever web browser you have configured to open a window for you in the URL it was given. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-libs-1.4.1.2.90-44 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to the 'Preferred Applications' preference dialog 2. Select 'Firefox' as your web browser 3. Make sure you've exited out of Mozilla in all it's forms. For good measure, even start up Firefox. 4. Type this on a command line: gnome-moz-remote --newwin http://www.omnifarious.org/ Actual Results: It starts up a copy of Mozilla with the appropriate page in it. Expected Results: It should open a new Firefox window with the page in it. Additional info:
