#89 Vorschau im Browser zeigt keinen Tab an

[Matthias Sprau]

Hallo zusammen,
wenn ich in Bluefish das Icon "Vorschau im Browser" anwähle, dann öffnet sich zwar Firefox, aber es wird kein Tab mit dem Inhalt der zugehörigen Datei gezeigt.
System:
Kernel: 6.5.0-25-generic x86_64
Desktop: Cinnamon 6.0.4
Distro: Linux Mint 21.3 Virginia

the command that is executed is configured in your preferences, under "external commands". What does the command look like, and does it work if you start that command from the terminal?

Hi, I'm not shure how to test in in the terminal, here a screenshot.

[Olivier Sessink]

you can type the command shown in the config, where you replace %p with an example URL
does the terminal command
firefox -remote 'http://slashdot.org' || firefox 'http://slashdot.org'
open the website slashdot.org ?

[Matthias Sprau]

firefox -remote 'http://slashdot.org' || firefox 'http://slashdot.org'
opens a second instance of firefox with the default tabs, but none with slashdot.org

firefox/virginia,now 124.0.1+linuxmint1+virginia amd64 [installiert]

I think you just found a firefox bug or a firefox packaging bug. Over here this works...

On a laptop with a new LinuxMint 21.3 and currrent Firefox it works, you are right.
