Of course, it's attached.

(Don't ask me about those parameters please, I stripped off all not
necessary from a python script, floating around some time.)

You have to change the line in .gnome/Gnome accordingly, so that script
is executed.
default-show=/home/YOU/bin/mozilla-remote "%s"

And some hint, as that was a problem before: Make the script executable.
Have mozilla and mozilla-moz-remote in your path... ;)


btw: You don't have to check, if mozilla is running. If you can't get
mozilla to open an new tab it is obviously not running...

Yeah, your right. But as this is an FAQ I still post the script to the
list. May some others use it too.

Have fun...
