Dear All I wanted MozillaFirebird to open links in my emails (from Evolution) and have set the command line as per the title of this email in Gnome Control Centre. This all works fine. What i would like to know is what does the "%s" do? And does anybody know how to make the link open in a new tab not a new window? TIA Tim

I assume the %s is passing the url that is to be opened. Evolution will fill in the 'value' of %s when Moz is invokved.
And does anybody know how to make the link open in a new tab not a new window?
I went to a command line and typed: MozillaFirebird --help and it spit out a lot of options but I didn't see one for a new tab. In fact, I wasn't using Firebird from Kmail because I always had a copy of it opened elsewhere and when it also opened from Kmail, it wanted a different profile than the default. But by typing out the --help, I found you can pass it the name of the profile to use (I made one called 'email' and I set up the file associations to call: <path>MozillaFirebird -P email %u (note: Kmail uses a %u for the url) -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

Bruce Thanks for the enlightenment. I also used to have the profile problem - but this has now disappeared. Have recently gone to 9.0 and am using MozillaFirebird 0.7+ from here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/experimental/ Tim

Have recently gone to 9.0 and am using MozillaFirebird 0.7+ from here:
ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla/experimental/
Is it just me, or does the firebird directory at that URL have no content? I'm currently running 0.7 downloaded as a tarball and I'd rather have the rpm (there are some silly little problems caused by not having it installed globally).

Funnily enough after sending the link i decided to check out the folder and found it empty too! I am almost 100% positive i got the .rpm from there - i followed a link somebody else on the list posted a couple of weeks ago. I have checked the rpm i have and it is built by suse according the the changelog - if you want i can try and send it (all 8.9MB!!) - or if you have an ftp server i can upload it Tim

Just discovered how to do this: in your file associations, for execution, use: <path to>/MozillaFirebird -remote openURL(%u,new-tab) and it when you click on a url in an email, it will open a new tab in your current Firebird. (or start up Firebird I assume if it isn't running) NOTE: The %u is used for Kmail... %s would be used for Evolution I guess but I don't run Evolution. Other apps might use something else. You can also use -remote openURL(%u,new-window) and that will work too. I found all of the above into at: http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
