#12 Opening url in a new tab of running Firefox.

[Anonymous]

I want to have urls open in a new tab of running
firefox. When I just put "firefox" in preferences it
starts new browser window. Analizing the code for a
little bit, I assumed that the following line should do
the job:
firefox -remote "openurl(%1,new-tab)"
But it did not help, it started to complain "unable to
open your default web browser".

So I guess it would be a good idea to either support
the above format, or make user chose if he wants
new-tab, new window or current tab in the current
window, and then make sure you can start most popular
browsers according to what user selected.

You can configure Firefox to open links from other
applications in a new tab instead of a new window. Look in
"options".
I don't think InternetExplorer understands the new-tab
statement.
