[R] Opening help pages in new tab of existing Mozilla Firebird
Subject pretty much says it all. I currently have options()$browser set to open help pages in Mozilla Firebird, but it starts a new window each time and I would like a new 'tab' in an existing window. Sorry if this is obvious, but I can't find anything.

Try this Mozilla Firefox extension, http://www.intraplanar.net/projects/tabprefs/ If you more control over tabs there is this extension as well http://white.sakura.ne.jp/~piro/xul/_tabextensions.html.en -Mike Kevin Wright wrote: Subject pretty much says it all.

You do not indicate which OS you are running, but under Linux, you can
use a script such as the following. It will check the current process
list to see if an instance of Firefox is already present. If so, it will
open a new tab. Otherwise, it opens a new window.
#!/bin/sh
# if 'firefox-bin' in current ps listing,
if ps -e|grep firefox-bin /dev/null 21; then
firefox -remote openURL(${1}, new-tab) exit 0
else
#open new instance
firefox $1 exit 0
fi
Copy the above into a script file and set it to be executable (chmod +x
ScriptFileName). Then set options()$browser to use the script file.
Note also that the recent version of the Mozilla standalone browser is
called Firefox, in recognition of the existence of the Firebird
(formerly Interbase) SQL database project.
