hello, all. thanks for ion2. i was so happy to track my -remote problem down to ion, and to find the entry about it in the faq. :) unfortunately, gnome-moz-remote isn't quite working for me.
i've put this in ~/.gnome/gnome-moz-remote:
[Mozilla]
filename=firefox
NEEDS_TERM=false
NREMOTE=true
and replaced what i was using in ~/bin/firefox-newtab with this:
#!/bin/sh
gnome-moz-remote --remote='openURL('$1', new-tab)' 2>> /dev/null \
|| gnome-moz-remote $1
this has at least gotten rid of the "No running window found" messages,
but instead of opening a given url in a new window (or, preferably, new
tab) of the running firefox instance, it pops up the "profile manager",
as though i'd tried to start a new firefox session while
~/.firefox/default/0pk5e9zt.slt/lock was in place.
has anyone run into this? what can i do about it?
if it helps, i also get this error message:
$ gnome-moz-remote --remote='openURL('http://google.com/', new-tab)'
Gnome-CRITICAL **: file gnome-moz-remote.c: line 641
(mozilla_remote_commands): assertion `window != 0' failed.
thanks,
