Ok so I put in a script:
#!/bin/sh
firefox ${*#-I}
EOF
And now when I type an address in the Internet section it does start
firefox, but only to load my home page, not the page I wrote in there...
I think its worth mentioning that my netbook is not connected to the
internet right now, so it is possible that firefox is not going anywhere
because it doesnt see any connection, just trying to access home page.
Mike, can you please check it?
Thanks a lot!
