The onlything that actually happens is that a new window in Firefox is opened and the default homepage is opened. Do you have any idea how to change this? Googling around, I saw that by default frirefox should open the link in the latest open window/tab, but that's not happening in my case.Cheers, Ivan
It is using the right browser, but it is not showing the web address wanted in the new opened page, just the home page...
You also need to have configured the alternative, make sure that you have a symlink to firefox in /etc/alternatives called x-www-browser. If not, open a shell and (as root) write:ln -s /usr/bin/firefox /etc/alternatives/x-www-browserOnce I red it has to point to "/usr/bin/firefox %u" or something like that, but it just works fine for me as /usr/bin/firefox.gabriel@localhost:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/x-www-browserlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2006-01-06 19:32 /etc/alternatives/x-www-browser -> /usr/bin/firefox
I also have that... Any other ideas are very welcome...
