Description of problem: Script /usr/bin/firefox doesn't open given link in a new tab (set correctly in preferences) but in a new window. Script /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-1.0-2.fc3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run firefox 2. set it to load new links opened by an application to a new tab 3. from shell run firefox again with some link Actual results: Firefox opens a new window with given link. Expected results: New tab should be opened in the old window. Additional info: To solve this issue try: rm -f /usr/bin/firefox ln -s /usr/lib/firefox-1.0/firefox /usr/bin/firefox This works for me.
Does not work for me. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open in GNOME "gnome-default-application-properties" 2. change browser to "firefox -remote 'openURL(%s,new-tab)' 3. Maybe click a link in evolution Actual results: no windows is opening and no tab Expected results: new tab is opening Additional info: Works via command line. Is this a GNOME problem?
