Using FC6, it works as it says, except that I don't have to switch to
the firefox window: it does that in about 1 second (and in a new tab).
That's if I use firefox as the browser: if I use konqueror, it DOES
start a new instance contrary to the message.
My guess is that it has to do with your window manager's settings.
There are many permutations that could be different from mine. I
don't think it's an R setting.

In the Firefox menus go to: Edit - Preferences - Tabs On that page, under New pages should be opened in: Select 'a new tab' If you are getting a new instance of Firefox, you likely have 'a new window' selected rather than 'a new tab'.

Thanks. I found the issue. I was starting R in a terminal with the command 'sudo R', help.start() was not able to communicate Firefox when already running. Works fine when R is started as user. --Dale On Mon, Mar 3, 2008 at 3:09 PM, Marc Schwartz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Patrick Connolly wrote: On Sun, 02-Mar-2008 at 05:32PM -0500, Dale Steele wrote: | Using linux fedora 8 (x86_64) I get the following when firefox is | already running.
