[issue23262] webbrowser module broken with Firefox 36+
Stephan Sokolow added the comment: Well, then the code which chooses a backend is broken because I have xdg-open and, according to WinPdb, it's using the Mozilla backend. This was my local workaround: if os.name == 'posix' and not platform.mac_ver()[0]: with open(os.devnull, 'wb') as nul: subprocess.Popen(['xdg-open', request_url], stdout=nul, stderr=nul) else: webbrowser.open_new_tab(request_url) (This retrofit branch hasn't yet reached the point where it'll be tested on Windows. I may still add another branch which calls `start` directly if it proves to have the same priority bug on Windows.) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue23262] webbrowser module broken with Firefox 36+
Stephan Sokolow added the comment: The proper solution is to prefer `start` (Windows), `open` (OSX), or `xdg-open` (everything else... usually but not always present) when present instead of calling the browser directly. That way, you're using the same delegate to the desktop's associations system and let the user's preferences control new window vs. new tab behaviour on all OSes where it's reliably possible. (Yes, it would guarantee that all open* functions are equivalent, but that's already the norm in a lot of cases... especially with Firefox where one of the guiding design principles is ensuring that the user retains control of their browsing experience.) -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue23262 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
