Fun indeed. Here's a little enhancment tip for all the now-happier-*Bird users.
The suggested script in bugzilla always replaces the currently-focused URL with the URL you're opening. If you want to open a new tab or a new window instead, use the following:
#!/bin/sh
MODE_DEFAULT=new-window #MODE_DEFAULT=new-tab
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=/home/alon/bin/MozillaFirebird export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME
# get URL to load url=$1; [ -z $url ] && url=about:blank fbmode=$2; [ -z $fbmode ] && fbmode=MODE_DEFAULT
# try xremote first $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/mozilla-xremote-client openURL\($url,$fbmode\) && exit 0
# if xremote failed, then launch the browser exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/MozillaFirebird "$url"
This is a modified version of the script from bugzilla. It takes a second argument for the way to open the new URL -- new-window will open in a new window, and new-tab will open in a new tab. If only a URL is given (that is no 2nd argument), then the value if MODE_DEFAULT is used -- select which one you prefer. Note that you have to give either a URL and an open mode, or only a URL.
Naturally the 2nd argument will be ignored if Firebird is not opened when the script runs.
Have fun.
Alon.
