Parent article: Mozilla Firefox 0.9 released

firefox 0.9.1+ thunderbird 0.6+

Spaces in openURL() params OK now, see below.

In debian, thunderbird is actually checking
/etc/alternatives/www-browser so I had to

ln -s /usr/local/bin/firefox /etc/alternatives/www-browser

as well as set the Tools Options HTML text
handler to the /usr/local/bin/firefox(ignored
for url passing).

# ~/.thunderbird/default/gpdz162a.slt/prefs.js
user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/local/bin/firefox");

#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/firefox

if [ -z "$1" ]
then /usr/local/firefox/run-mozilla.sh /usr/local/firefox/firefox &
else
/usr/local/firefox/mozilla-xremote-client -a firefox \
"openURL( $1, new-tab )" \ # new-tab
&& exit 0 \
|| /usr/local/firefox/firefox $1 & # new-window
fi
