Package: exo-utils Version: 0.3.105-3 Severity: normal
I have noticed inconsistent behavior of exo-open with the newest version of iceweasel (3.5.5-1). In the past the default setting in the "Preferred Applications" settings manager dialog, "Debian Sensible Browser" would open iceweasel (if it were the default alternative) with the correct starting page (URL or local page) and it would open a second window when clicked again. With the newest installation of iceweasel, both these behaviors have changed. Now the opening page is just the index of the user's home directory and a second invocation will open a second tab, not another window. This issue can be fixed somewhat by setting the preferred application to iceweasel. This will correctly open the first instance with the desired start page but the second invocation, while opening a second window, will display the default page for opening a new tab instead of a new window (in my case, a blank page). I have briefly tried setting epiphany as my alternative for x-www-browser and this has the expected behavior, every invocation opens a new window with the desired start page. Therefore, this is an interaction with the newest version of iceweasel. I have filed this bug here because when I run iceweasel directly (from the panel button or form the command line) it has the correct behavior, it is only the exo-open command which gives this inconsistent behavior.
