https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=230681 Summary: "firefox -remote" seems to be more broken in the SUSE package than upstream Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: x86 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Firefox AssignedTo: bnc-team-mozilla@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de This has been observed with MozillaFirefox-2.0.0.1-0.1.i586.rpm (latest official security update for openSUSE 10.2). With the SUSE package: # /usr/bin/firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.google.com, new-tab)' Error: No running window found # echo $? 0 With upstream binaries (from ftp.mozilla.org): # /tmp/firefox/firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.google.com, new-tab)' Error: No running window found # echo $? 2 => Other than the upstream binary, the SUSE binary claims to succeed although it actually failed in the same way as the upstream binary. This behaviour breaks functionality of another application which relies on a correct exit status by doing: /bin/sh -c "if ! firefox -remote 'openURL(http://www.google.com, new-tab)'; then firefox 'http://www.google.com'; fi" -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
