Hi Yves,
Though I haven't check the source code deeply, fgfs doesn't seem handling
--browser-app command-line option properly.
According to the code, its default value for OS X is set to "open, " and
command-line option seems to be set properly.
So I guess the property node ("/sim/startup/browser-app") is overwritten by the
one in preferences.xml.
As a matter of fact, changing line 62 of preferences.xml to the following will
fix the issue.
<browser-app write="n">open "%u"</browser-app>
It doesn't seem OS X specific, so this may happen on Windows as well.
Maybe we should ask some windows users if it works properly (and if
preferences.xml is modified)
Hope this helps,
Tat

Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning
Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing
also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service.
