This works for me too, just as Greg says, after customizing for my
paths. It works like this.
here's an url www.linux.org
Put point on url, and do 'M-x browse-url'
This puts in minibuffer: "URL: http://www.linux.org";
<enter> makes the url open in a new tab in firefox
But if I just type in the minibuffer "www.linux.org", it
doesn't work. I have to type in the full
'"http://www.linux.org";.
Thanks for all the help everybody.
