Message-ID: <u4pdsutd1.fsf@gnu.org> (raw)
The following fragment from browse-url-firefox:
(apply 'start-process
(concat "firefox " url) nil
browse-url-firefox-program
(append
browse-url-firefox-arguments
(if (or (featurep 'dos-w32)
(string-match "win32" system-configuration))
(list url)
(list "-remote"
(concat "openURL("
url
(if (browse-url-maybe-new-window
new-window)
(if browse-url-firefox-new-window-is-tab
",new-tab"
",new-window"))
")")))))))
has the effect of invoking Firefox with the URL specified twice on the
command line (so Firefox opens it in two tabs). I think it's a bug,
and that the right fix is to not (concat "firefox " url), but to use a
literal "firefox" instead. Does anyone see where I'm wrong?
Steve, do you have any objections to such a change?
