Alternately this could be [considered] a bug in {,mozilla} firefox,
because one can argue that only the last comma should be used.
openUrl(a,b,c,d,e) could be interpretted as open the url 'a,b,c,d'
with option 'e'.
This wouldn't make any sense at all... moreover, the -remote syntax
supports multiple argument commands (mailto(a,b,c), for instance)

Can you do {new,existing}-{tab,window} with that interface?
It is set with an environment variable or via a file in /etc/ for
mozilla (IIRC), and is configurable in firefox in the preferences.

Mm... that means your gaim doesn't do the same as mine... mine first
tries /usr/local/bin/gnome-load, then the program set with the gconf key
then fails. I actually had a bad configuration before trying to
reproduce this bug today, the gconf key pointing to
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/firefox, which doesn't exist since I upgraded
to firefox, and with that configuration, it just didn't do anything when
trying to open with browser.
Could you attach here a trace of what gaim does when you try to open an
url ? (strace -f -p `pidof gaim`)
The relevant bit follows:
write(1, gtknotify: Executing firefox -a firefox -remote
quot;openURL(http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,69773,00.html,new-tab)quot;\n,

If you're talking to me, and if you mean

BTW my www-browser is presently set to lynx ('xterm -e lynx ' or

week, and then removed them.
