change the COMMAND to COMMAND echo firefox -remote openURL\(%s,new-tab\) and see what the shell actually receives. btw, recent versions of firefox allow a simple 'firefox <url>'. if you have configured ff to open a new page in a new tab rather than a new window, that should give what you want. -- Joost Kremers, PhD University of Frankfurt Institute for Cognitive Linguistics Grüneburgplatz 1 60629 Frankfurt am Main, Germany
