           Summary: firefox wrapper script does not handle quoted arguments
                    correctly
           Product: openSUSE 10.2
           Version: Final
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Minor
          Priority: P5 - None
         Component: Firefox
        AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
         QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx


The shell script /usr/bin/firefox handles quoted arguments incorrectly. This
can most easily be seen by trying to access a file:// URL containing spaces,
such as:

firefox 'file:///home/user/My Documents/testpage.html'

The reason is that the two invocations of $MOZ_PROGRAM near the bottom of the
script do not quote $@. The correct way to do it is $MOZ_PROGRAM "$@". Without
the quotes, the shell breaks up the above URL into two arguments.

This doesn't cause problems most of the time because 1. most people do not
launch firefox with a URL on the command line and 2. most http:// URLs escape
spaces as %20.
