[Evolution] Using firefox 0.9 with Evolution (and probably other gnome apps)

[Paul Hands <phands cadence com>]

Hi all,

I found, like many others, that the remote control of firefox has changed from 0.8 to 0.9.  They actually changed the remote control functionality, so that existing scripts used to invoke a new window on an existing firefox process no longer work.

The answer is to use the supplied mozilla-xremote-client command, and to add the -a firefox argument.

As an example, the command now looks like this....

mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox "openurl($arg,new-window)"

Hope this helps,

Paul
