Thanks but it is still not working for me. Maybe I am missing something. It appears that I would need to incorporate the -remote option on firefox i.e. : firefox -remote "openurl(http://www.mapquest.com)" however I have tried this from the same konsole session and get the a "No running window found" error. Example:
~> firefox ~> firefox -remote "openurl(http://www.mapquest.com)" Error: No running window found
'-remote' will only open a window *if* you already have an instance of firefox open. -remote <command> Execute <command> in an already running Mozilla process.
I also tried to set the KDE kcontrol -> File Associations so that the firefox command was: firefox -remote %u
above
but nothing happens. Maybe I am missing something. I went to:http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html but didn't find any help.
well, this is the correct place. It explains 'remote' I use "firefox -remote 'openURL(about:blank, new-window)'" _but_, I always open an instance of firefox when I boot so the 'remote' command *will* work. doez this make it clear? -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
